Technically it's secret is it /is/ a skin. it's just not a /registered/ skin.
There however are various things that need to be resolved before mobile code
can be upstreamed to core but that /is/ the goal from my point of view.

The magic you need is:
$wgValidSkinNames['minerva'] = "Minerva";

Correct but I think what Jared is getting at is we should be upstreaming stuff
from mobile into core. Now we have LESS in core this is very much possible. You
can import from the global namespace, so mobile can inherit from styles in
core.

Yes but we have full control to change this. Things that are not surfaced in
the mobile view could be surfaced in the desktop view :-)

How so? I would like the desktop skin and mobile skin to use consistent fonts,
icons and button styling. MediaWiki UI will achieve this.
