Hello devs,
it was a good idea to separate templates and skins, but skins are still not
completely self-contained – e.g. toucan uses .js files from the albatross
skin. (fullscreenEdit.js, userandgroups.js etc). It would be great fo fix
it, so xwiki-users could use only one skin as prototype to create their own
skins.
Thanks,
Alla

Toucan skin is a skin that extends another skin so it's normal it
depends on Albatross files. This is done voluntarily in order not to
duplicate files. Thus I don't see we could "fix" this and I'm not sure
what there is to fix.
Or do you mean that when we build the toucan skin zip file we should
also include the albatross skin files in it? We haven't done so
voluntarily to prevent lots of duplicate files in your wiki
installation.
I'm curious: what would it add for xwiki users to have duplicated
files for each skin?
Thanks!

I didn’t mean to copy the same files in all skins folders, but why not to
move all common files, used from skins into the separate directory and leave
in skins folders only skin-specific things? Sorry, perhaps it was just my
wish to have a clear structure :-)

But that's what we're doing... Everything common is in the templates/
directory.

We agree that the structure should be cleaned (there are some jira
issues about this). But it's more in creating better basic skins
easier to extend. There's also the Skin Extension/Interface Extension
mechanism being designed.
See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/
If you have specific ideas or with to help in some manner please let
us know here! :)
Thanks
