However you can go the other way. Applying a desktop design, turning it into a responsive theme. Or slightly re-designing it so it works as both. I've done plenty of responsive MediaWiki themes before at work. One of them live at: http://wiki.cancer.org.au/australia/Guidelines Besides adding functionality to Minerva equivalent to a desktop theme. Minerva will probably need more design/style to it to avoid looking to sparse/bland on a huge desktop. The only 'real' problem with making Vector mobile is probably our ancient and unfriendly sidebar interface. I would suggest a hybrid job. Take Minerva's functionality (ditching the sidebar, tabs, etc...) but use Vector's design elements, combine them into a new responsive theme that visually feels like Vector but functionally works like and is responsive like Minerva. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://danielfriesen.name/] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
