Chris - I have several thoughts on that which I wanted to air -

I took some time to get used to the new skin. I like it a lot -  
great work Kevin (and Tom).


(In fact I'd like to include a generic version in Zwiki as a wiki  
template - are the authors ok with this ? I will make it as  
different as you think necessary to avoid confusion with the zope  
wikis.)


fine with me. :)



I'm also quite fond of the basic Zwiki skin, which is adapted to my  
needs. For jumping around between many wikis, many pages, and doing  
serious wiki gardening, I find it less distracting, also the page  
hierarchy is clearer. For some people it will also be faster. So I  
wanted to leave it in place for at least a few days to give people  
a chance to see how it works for browsing these wikis.


I also like that big Zope planet floating in the background of the  
zope2 wiki. The sense of wide-open spaciousness. And I like that  
it's visually distinct from the zope3 wiki, so you know at a glance  
where you are.


I have been guessing the consensus will be to use the new skin  
across all the wikis, though. But I think we definitely need some  
way to differentiate them.


I'll see if I can come up with something.



Just now, motivated by Martijn's talk at DZUG (recommended!) I  
started to move the templates from /zope3 up to the root folder,  
then I realized the skin has zope3 wiki stuff hard-coded. So some  
more work is needed before the skin can be reused. Kevin, I wonder  
what your thoughts/plans are (feel free to try them out).

Yes indeed :-)

Well, it gets my +...

But I think we definitely need some way to 
differentiate them.
Actually, just a distinctive logo for each of the zope2 and zope3 wikis, and a generic look for the rest, might be the thing. 


I agree with your own answer to your question ;-)

cheers,

Chris
