Do we have any PmWiki skin in the cookbook, where Responsive Web Design is
implemented?
Having a RWD skin is not only good for different devices, these layouts can
also be made more accessible for readers with disabilities, which is a good
thing.
Is there a workable way to "incrementally" add Responsive Web Design
features to the existing PmWiki Skin (using CSS @media queries, for
example)?
One can always create an RWD skin and upload it to the cookbook for testing
and improving.
An incrementation of the default skin is possible but if I recall correctly,
one of the reasons for the simplicity of the "default" skin is to allow non-
HTML-CSS3-JS-expert wiki owners to easily modify the skin to suit them. And
those users use their computer browser more often than their mobile phone to
edit their wiki.
A skin with all features of RWD (media queries, javascript, even ajax) will
become much more complex to study and modify for these users.
I don't say that we will not do it, we just need to evaluate the benefits.
And by "default" skin I assume the one shipped with the PmWiki core
distribution, not necessarily the one which is used on pmwiki.org, which may
be modified if we decide we need it. (Even if it is practical to have the
same skin on PmWiki.org and in the default installation.)
Is the PrintSkin necessary any more?
I know people who use it daily in their company.
