If I am a recipe writer

   - skin (recipes) go in the /pub/skins directory

This can be either the "core" pmwiki/pub/skins directory where the skin can be used in all fields, or the "field" directory field/pub/skins where the skin only applies to the current field, and overrides any skin with the same name that could exist in pmwiki/pub/skins.

   - recipe css (I guess) goes in the /pub/css directory

Not exactly, this directory, BTW always field/pub/css (*) contains CSS files that are automatically included by PmWiki, that normally could override core CSS and skin CSS (unless the skin does something specific). These are local.css and various Group.css or Group.Page.css.

It is not recommended for recipe authors to place individual files there, but many recipes have instructions to place custom code inside local.css (which is fine).

(*) "field" is the directory where index.php is (it includes pmwiki.php wherever the latter is) and in the simplest installation -- not-a-wiki-farm -- it is the one that exists in the core distribution.

   - recipes go in the cookbook directory

PHP recipes, yes.

   - recipe javascript goes ... ?
   - recipe resources (e.g. graphics) go in /pub/*myrecipe*/
Or as a recipe writer do I create a folder /pub/*myrecipe*/ and put
everything in there?

If your recipe includes both CSS and JavaScript (most do) and possibly graphics, their place is in pub/your-recipe -- either the one under pmwiki ($FarmPubDirUrl/your-recipe), or the one under field ($PubDirUrl/your-recipe).

I'm a sort of a tidy developer and like to have a place for things, and I
can see that more and more recipes will be using javascript, hence the
suggestion

Yes, recipes that only ship JavaScript and no CSS could use a suggestion to place their files in pmwiki/pub/js or in field/pub/js.

As far as moving forward, should it be considered being worth doing then yes, the old file becomes orphaned, but perhaps instructions to manually
delete it would be sufficient

Perhaps.

LocalTimes is not in the core, if it gets included then its logic will
go into pmwiki-utils.js.

I'll think about it -- one problem is that moving the file into a
subdirectory in the core will not move it on existing installations and
people will end with 2 versions of pmwiki-utils.js. Isn't this worse
than what happens now?

As the directories where the PmWiki core is installed should not be
writable by the PHP process, an automatic cleanup cannot be reliably
implemented.
