User blog comment:Yyp/New Wikia Skin:What we can expect?/@comment-1429792-20101002222006

Some notable staff posts:


 * "Photo attribution is a new feature and we will be making it compulsory at first - meaning it will not be allowable to remove this feature with CSS. While there has been a lot of feedback about this, what we also need to see is how this feature works when it's being used by the entire userbase, and not a subset, in order to measure its success." --Susan Taylor


 * Referring to the font colour: "I do think there is room to look at exactly how dark or light our gray is. The darkness of the gray on white is now something on our design team's list to review and they'll be looking at that again." --Susan Taylor


 * "Feedback is one important piece of the process but it's not the only metric we measure success by. While we can get feedback from certain subsets of people here, click tracking data gives us a view of the feature and it's use over the entire site and by the entire userbase." --Susan Taylor


 * "Really thoughtful post, thank you! We definitely have a plan and have had one since development of the new skin started months ago. Part of that plan is actually to allow a core feature set to come out and then continue to innovate and improve on it. This is a work in progress. The white space you see now is room for progress and the innovation I mentioned above, and we'd actually love to hear your ideas about what can be done in these places or in the sidebar. We're tracking the ideas that have come in the feedback so far (despite popular belief :)) and while to be honest I can't say that we'd implement every one they can definitely spark ideas, or may be ideas we do implement. I know I didn't hit every topic covered here, but I hope this part of the explanation helps." --Susan Taylor
