In time we should make Colibri, Toucan and other skins to be independent
of each other. By doing this, they will be more easily maintained
They should be independent but that doesn't make more maintainable, quite the opposite
since it means sharing less.
Instead we need to find ways to make skins more easily maintainable and I think this means
sharing more between skins based on the same "concepts", i.e. having skin
"variants" instead of completely new skins. Actually I don't know what makes
a skin easy to write and easy to maintain.
What I see is that some webapp have lots of skins for example wordpress so it seems
it's possible to have lots of skin. I'm still not sure what element of our skin
system makes it hard to maintain our skins.
Any idea?
Thanks

Albatross is obsolete by it's design.
