Hi, slightly off-topic, becaus not 100% related to SMW, but still: many SMW installations have a skinning problem, so I'd really appreaciate if a mentor for this idea could step up...

If anybody here familiar with development of extensions wants to volunteer as mentor, let me know. Questons? Just ask. It is urgent -- see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014 Thank you. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Quim Gil < q...@wikimedia.org > Date: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 Subject: [Wikitech-l] GSoC proposal "Frontend for Vector skin CSS customizations" (Ioannis Protonotarios) To: Wikimedia developers < wikitec...@lists.wikimedia.org > Hi, we are still welcoming mentors for this interesting proposal On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 6:58 PM, Ιωάννης Πρωτονοτάριος < ioan...@protonotarios.eu > wrote: > My proposal is the creation of a frontend that will help users with little > or no experience at all to easily produce all the CSS needed to change their > wiki's layout. > > Full proposal wiki page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Protnet/Frontend_for_Vector_skin_CSS_customizations The implementation proposed consists in MediaWiki extension depending on the Vector skin. The plan sounds sensible and fitting with the discssion of finding ways for 3rd party MediaWikis to differentiate from plain MediaWiki and Wikimedia sites. The proposal also shows a good amount of original thought and work. We *might* get a secondary mentor from the WMF Design team to support the UI work and also the possibilities of CSS customization options that MediaWiki admins might be interested about. We miss a developer familiar with MediaWiki extension developer. I'm not an expert, but this extension looks relatively simple in terms of backend? It is an interface to manipulate MediaWiki:Common.css. Ideas for related bugs that can be assigned to Ioannis as microtasks are also welcome. Just name existing bug reports requiring skills relevant to this project.
