I think moving Skins into their own Skins group makes a lot of sense. If you are searching for a skin then you are not looking for a recipe. If you are looking for a recipe then you are not looking for a skin. They are different enough that having them in the same group just complicates any kind of browsing, etc. Beyond the Skins/ group I would recommend not having separate language groups for skins or for *-Talk or for *-Users. I think even if the huge translation effort could be done it would be a practical impossibility (with a community of volunteers) to keep this maintained. Thus you would constantly be dealing with obsolete documentation with no easy way to know whether this translated page was up-to-date against the original or not.. Thus my recommendation is to Keep It Simple. Separating out Skins is simple and will introduce no additional burden of upkeep/maintenance. Let's just leave it at that. -Peter
