So what skins are 'up to speed' or what skin should I use with my goal
of pedia in mind?

Thank you - I hadn't found snippets yet...

I haven't 'seen' where/how to do this yet. Can you tell me how?

Just a thought - Maybe you could offer 'developers' who spearhead a
plugin to offer some revenue generating links for themselves. Nothing
controversial or massive, just a little incentive for a win win. Of
course you would need to think the application of this out and set
guidelines and such, but it could be the juice you need to get some of
this stuff done.

I signed up for the mailing list, but I don't think I'm receiving
anything.
So I'll have to check my spam filter.
