Please note that users can choose their own skin by simply appending?skin=... to the URI. We do not need to restrict ourselve to one skin only.
We really should not have multiple designs for our web site. One official skin is enough.
However, in practie we'll probably only fully support one skin. As for what design to use for the official web site, I can't say I've seen a consensus (yet) of what design to use. I'm a "design illiterate", so I'm just waiting for consensus to arrive, and saying that what we have is "good enough".
As I understand it, the consensus is that the current design is much better than before and that we will continue to improve it if we receive more feedback / suggestions. Is that right Rex / Andrei?
I liked the nautica thing as a candidate for the wiki, the standard pmwiki skin is _ugly_ (and what we have today). I think simulating 'tabs' might be a good metaphor for the aspects with which a page can appear, e.g. 'view', 'edit', 'history'.
I think with some nice graphics this skin can look much better. It's easier to start with a Pmwiki skin than to write a new skin from scratch.
Perhaps... I think they are _very_ different beasts, and that they therefore will benefit from designs/layouts that are different. Just as a simple example, a search field is very important for a wiki, but less so for the official web site. The wiki needs much for "methods" or "functions" compared to a regular web site.
Yes, they are different. But I think the design should still be somewhat consistent.
