thank you for the feedback!

what features/functionality do you consider must-have for the standard skin?

what other attributes should the new standard skin have, e.g., "easy for 
new users to understand", "easy to extend", "show all sensor data", 
"illustrate core weewx capabilities"

change up to commit 4a0ac25 include:

- the show_* flags have been removed.  display values and plots if data 
available.  assume that users can modify the template if they want to 
hide/remove something.

- added expand/collapse for each widget.  no animations.  state is retained 
with cookies.

- history state is retained with cookies.

- humidity plots are now displayed

- radar has a title and is collapsible

- radar image size is limited to width of plots

i'd like sufficient functionality so that the standard skin is fully 
functional on its own, and something that many users would be happy to have 
as their display.  but i do not want to duplicate jquery functionality, nor 
do i want to make the standard skin dependent on jquery or bootstrap.  so 
all the javascript makes me anxious.  too much code and it will scare 
people away from customizing.

it would be nice to be able to move blocks around, then have the layout 
remembered by the client.  but i think that will have to be left to a more 
sophisticated skin.

the units should also be selectable by the client, and that state should be 
retained by the client.  but that requires generating multiple versions of 
many plots, or javascript plots.  so probably beyond the scope of a 
standard skin rewrite.
