I've started a new branch in Antville CVS dedicated to the skinset ideas I posted a few days ago. So far, there's only a db update script, a new skinset prototype and the modified type mappings for skinmgr and skin. There's currently no skinset/skin editing code yet, but after doing the update your site should look just like it did before, thanks to this little hack.

Todo: Add skinset references to site and story, add skinset selector boxes to site preferences and story editor, move skin editing code from skinmgr to skinset, add "edit skinset" list and "create new skinset" link to skinmgr. That should be it.

This is something I actually had on my own list for Antville extensions, but as you're already at it, I guess I won't have to do that myself ;-) However, I plan to submit an updated version of the skindumper/-feeder for the new branch.

Oh, and I have a wish: The stylesheet of each skinset should have a different URL, as many browsers are very bad at reloading stylesheets and don't notice if it changes for quite a while.

looks nice, and the todo list doesn't look complicated either. lookin' forward to test your branch.
