An mw.ui layer on top of oojs-ui is very much an objective, and the ability to theme/skin/etc. that (so that Agora/whatever changes can be applied system-wide in one go). The commit above should get merged in the next day or so; the next step is to move it into MW core, as part of the Great VisualEditor Repo Split of 2013. :-) > This part is probably the most up in the air, and would be good to discuss > at the architecture summit, among other places. > Well, hopefully we'll have made some actual implementation progress by January, but yes, very much a worthwhile thing to discuss there. I suppose we'll need to go away and write up an RfC, once we actually know what the proposal is having tried some things out in practice. J. -- James D.
