Skin<br />
stare blankly at prototype (if any, or target wiki)<br />
clone example<br />
rename and replace every instance of 'example' with skinname<br />
delete existing css<br />
break css up into LESS things:<br />
variables<br />
main<br />
forms<br />
(ooui will hopefully replace all this with a more sensible styling approach down the line; no idea how to actually interface with that at present)<br />
screen-full (& -mid)<br />
screen-mobile<br />
choose some colours - consistent design and stuff<br />
set in variables<br />
2-3 main colours with 2-3 brightness variants of each<br />
some greys - borders, backgounds, maybe some text de-emphasis<br />
stare blankly at unstyled example skin<br />
set up basic php/html structure<br />
Use/change/delete unneeded/move skin functions from the bottom<br />
style all the things for common, add in html containers/ids as needed<br />
style things for full and mobile separately<br />
add js<br />
go through test pages, forms to see what else needs styling<br />
category:test pages<br />
preferences<br />
check a few random special pages<br />
create IE8 fallback from -full or -mid (can't handle sizes in @media)<br />
stare blankly at this horror you have created<br />
