> * Upgraded to our (experimental) skin, sweet as pi. (Version 3.14, get it?).
I had some small problems with this, caused by conflicting
code.snippet and code.style pages. If anyone else has problems, I
recommend checking for those pages and renaming them as backups.
> * Added a skin action to allow easy modifications to core skin.
I like. I managed to find a nice white on black combination thats easy
on the eyes.
You missed highlight_color.

This is nice. I would like to take the opportunity to request a "use
superadmin powers: []" toggle. This in order to be able to check auths
quickly without installing a second browser. I currently spend a lot
of time logging in and out to fix problems. I'm thinking the best way
would be a hook before checking if one is in the superadmin group in
checkAuth, with a custom check bypassing checkAuth to see if you are
permitted to use the toggle itself.
I'd write a plugin, but I'd have to mess with engine code slightly.

Yaay! Explain! I think I've been missing that.

Oooh! reminds me. How do I get an info variable without processing
it's markup? My slogan is a [(quote)] command, I whish to be able to
change it in action.skin

It's a good idea. Feature creep is bad, but the reason it's bad is
mitigated with a good getting-started page.
Grats on the 100k.
You could try using a better zip alorythm. You wouldn't affect the
feature creep, and you wouldn't be able to feel as good about the
download, so... it wouldn't have any actual positive effect.
I'm going to write that down as my best suggestion ever.
