+1 on the provision that we don't break backward compatibility, i.e. if someone has extended the Colibri skin, when that person upgrades to XWiki 6.x (for example), his/her skin still works. This could be achieved simply by moving existing templates in the Colibri skin module for example, while writing new templates based on bootstrap. Then once Flamingo is the default skin, we could deprecate Colibri and move it contrib so that users can still use it/install it but it wouldn't be avail by default.

IMO this could be the occasion to rework the templates organization. I think it would be better for backward compat to either - copy the existing templates to the colibri skin - or to have the ability to choose the templates dir to use for XWiki (see my previous mail on this) and package the existing ones as legacy templates later on. Once Flamingo is out, we’ll drop support for Colibri IMO so it’s not like we’ll have to maintain 2 sets. What do others think?

Guillaume, It depends how you split. If your split keep the original .vm, and make it include the two new .vm you create, this change would be compatible with any skin overriding the original template. Anything else will surely break stuff and you should apply Vincent backward compatibility method. The existing colibri templates should be moved to the colibri skin. A Junco/Colibri look could be provided by inheriting that skin. A Flamingo skin could be built over a new reorganized set of default templates, and use native bootstrap. For a while, that Flamingo skin could also provide Junco CSS extensions to provide existing old markup (still to update features, existing extensions, ...) a bootstrap look that fit better with Flamingo.
