After lots of thinking, and maybe this is too early, but i've decided (well am) going over the process of converting the [url=http://blogs.balupton.com/?skin=Lightality]Lightality Skinning System[/url], into plugins. (Avatars Plugin, Panels Plugin, Credits Plugin).
I decided to go with Skins v2 for the plugin name, as that is what it is to me.
It will be made of two parts;
Layout Skins; These will be the skins for the layout of the page.
Content Skins; These will be the skins for the posts.
Now this plugin will offer a managed/unified and customizable approach to skinning. Think of it as the .NET Framework.... But instead a Skinning Framework.
Atm i'm just saying my idea (well plans), and when i start work on it i'll post stuff. If any of you are interested, i will need skinners to port over their existing skins into the new framework.
Cheers
