Bug ID: 47091
Summary: Enable strapping-mediawiki skin in mediawiki.org as
optional & experimental
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown

Mobile Platform: ---
This is a proposal to enable strapping-mediawiki in mediawiki.org as an
optional skin marked as EXPERIMENTAL, for testing purposes. This is NOT a
request to include this skin as part of MediaWiki or to support it officially.
"Strapping is an elegant, responsive, and friendly starter skin for MediaWiki.
Its purpose is to provide a good base to build upon, and was primarily created
to provide a great default for wiki-as-a-website — but it works well for
standard wikis too."

Not only is something fresh and pretty neat. It also relies on a solid
foundation:
http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/
There is an instance for testing at
https://wikitech-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page?useskin=strapping
However, there is nothing like testing a skin in the wiki you work all day.
This skin happens to have some common elements with
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Athena (all navigation in the header followed by
100% content body). I guess we could even play with it in combination with
Agora's CSS. All this to say that this proposal is not departing or far-off
from our trends and plans.
While we are busy developing other things, someone else is taking care of
potential foundations or source for inspiration like Strapping and
strapping-mediawiki (and this is good). So why not paying more attention and
allow mediawiki.org users to contribute some testing and potentially feedback.
I would give it a try and even use it as default if it's not utterly broken.
