Michael Osipov commented on DOXIASITETOOLS-149:
-----------------------------------------------

Source encoding can automatically derived from the input property. Wouldn't 
that be enough?

> create a skin descriptor to contain meta-data about the skin

>             Project: Maven Doxia Sitetools
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: Site renderer

>            Reporter: Hervé Boutemy
>             Fix For: 1.7

>
> currently, a skin is a jar containing at least {{META-INF/maven/site.vm}}, 
> which is the Velocity template file
> adding a skin descriptor (as XML with Modello, to be consistent with Maven 
> style) would permit meta-data definition.
> The first case I see is Doxia Site Tools prerequisites, to have a skin make 
> clear that it requires a newer version of Doxia Site Tools (which is a 
> dependency of maven-site-plugin = what end-users see): this would permit 
> newer Doxia Site Tools versions to provide new features for skins (like 
> DOXIASITETOOLS-150) and skins using these features without fearing failing 
> because being used in older maven-site-plugin versions
> this would also create a new "skin-model" module that would give us a natural 
> place to document practices around skins
