From the xwikis operators point of view it would be a
huge "selling" point if
it where possible that exisiting wordpress designs
could be used in a
certain (may be new) xwiki skin.
The reason for this is that xwiki operators aren't necessarily good and
experienced designers but there is a large crowd of designers spcialized in
wordpress theme design. And its possible to start design contest e.g.
99designs.com where you can buy individual designs for small money meaining
you have an individual and professional looking design at small cost.
You might say Xwiki is a wiki and wordpress is a blog but for sure there is
a not so small group of usage scenarios where it is justifiable to use one
or the other product. And people are tempted to go with the product with the
better design options. This is even more true as if you plan a new plattform
that should be individual and professional looking and you can't do a
professional design yourself you have to hire a designer but with using
wordpress you can pick up a design out of the many options and modify it -
which is much easier than doing it along yourself.
I have no idea how complex it might be to realize such a 'design
compatibility layer' though ...
