As for the database, I'm not sure, since I'm not responsible for the

Will try to find out...

Great! As for the database, I think I could offer you temporal hosting for a small MySQL database here. Let me know if you consider it will help you to convince your administrator that to host MySQL there (or any other option) will be a good idea.
I think you're right, even with the collapsed panels problem solved.
Just have to find a time when I can allow myself to break the layout
of the wiki. Even though the page its in the very early construction
phase, I have couple of co-workers who also make contributions.

So my first question regarding the albatross skin is the following:
Since the global.vm file is missing, and at least a few of the
properties it defined are now elsewhere (such as colors.css), while
others are not, should I create a new global.vm or is it entirely
deprecated?
In my case, I want to modify the url of the main logo, which was
defined in global.vm as

[...]
  <div id="company">
  <div id="companylogo">
    <a href="SOMEURL">
[....]

Nope, global.vm is by no means deprecated! But it is now stored in the /templates folder under /xwiki. All Velocity templates have been moved there.

But if you create your own skin and put a global.vm file there, it will take precedence over the one in /templates.

Take a look to this...

This might help.
