Re: [xwiki-devs] [Vote][Skin] Keep Colibri look or have another look for 6.x

Hi Cathy, You have launch a couple of not so easy threads, and probably why no one have found enough time yet to follow up. I really hope this will change in the upcoming days, since the skin evolution is very important aspect that really need to be thoroughly discussed. As I see it, choosing between 1. "keeping the colibri look" using the Junco skin, and 2. using a fresh look like flamingo, based on your developed arguments, is more a question about what do we do with our current templates, and how free are we to change them ? Could we afford and impose a new improvement to our markups and templates, while providing enough backward compatibility for existing extensions. In your Bootstrap integration thread, I develop the technical aspect around these markup issues, showing, I hope, that we have the occasion to smoothly evolve our skin without getting stuck by the past. Regarding the design aspect, your Flamingo proposal is far more refreshing and appealing, providing a more responsive look that I hope could extends our user base. If we could implement it without extending bootstrap, allowing it to be restyled with any bootstrap variants, it would make it a very versatile skin. So, if we could target that new skin, while keeping an acceptable compromise for existing stuff, I see no reason not to move forward. This is not really a choice between 1) and 2), since what I propose is to use Junco to provide a backward compatibility CSS, and for a while also a modernized colibri skin using our existing templates, and to also evolve our templates, using a more bootstrap based markups to produce that more appealing Flamingo skin. So, it is more 2) than 1), since we will only target 2) for new stuffs. WDYT ? ​
