Hey Caty,
Thanx :)
Also,I went through those links and the sketches heres what I think:
1. Jerome's version does look better and simple but I feel it would lack the
ease of use as most of the functions would be present in a separate menu
which could be reached through the '+' . More clicks leads to a less
intuitive UI and downgrades user experience. On the other hand, Jerome's
version gives a lighter and better look with only the main functions on the
homescreen. What needs to be looked into is whether the main options are
sufficient to cater an average user such that we can ignore the 'more
clicks' aspect.
What I have also noticed is that Jerome's version does include all the
functions present on yours yet has an option '+' and even your version has
an empty function box so I am guessing there are/would be more functions
that need to be present or added.
Personally, I am in favor of your version of the skin because its functions
serve as tabs for dynamic lower portion of the screen, the static layer of
links to the various functions/screens makes it easy to navigate for the
user.
2. Even I feel that the two scrolls on the comments page should be done away
with instead it should take the whole page.
And I am new to XWiki and its development tools so I would be needing your
help to get on track so please bare with my newbie questions.
1. I have downloaded 'xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-3.0' and would be
following the instructions as given on
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Skins , is this the
correct approach?
2. What else can I do to get a better know how and integrate myself more in
the project?
Thanx

Hey Caty,
Thanx for getting back to me on that , I am currently going through the
links but due to my University examination which are going to be held over
the next 3 days I would be a little slow. Also would you mind sharing with
me you IRC nick?
The nick is evalica. Good luck with your exams.
Thanks,
Caty

Hi Supreet,
This project is really nice and can be approached from a variety of
angles (we can have same functionality, but a different suitable for mobiles
skin; or we can think of a set o limited functions to provide for the
mobile versions, etc).
I've done some sketches with a vision of a limited-mobile version of
XWiki:
http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/MobileSkin
maybe this will give you some ideas.
Thanks,
Caty
