New XWiki Skins tutorial

[Raluca Stavro]

Hello XWiki users,

I have worked a lot with XWiki Skins on the top of XWiki Enterprise
instances and I wanted to share my experience with you all. This is why
I created a new XWiki Skins tutorial that you can find it here:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWikiNewSkin . It would be
great if you could give me your feedback about this tutorial.

Enjoy customizing your XWiki Enterprise instances!

Raluca Stavro.

Hello Raluca,

I have not checked the correctness of the content (I couldn't), but the
texts and especially screenshots look great!

Remarks:
- marked key words with the blue color look like links, but those are
not... What about to link key words to existing documentation pages,
like "Velocity", "colibri" etc. and mark other with a different color?
- I have removed commas/dots in lists and "Note:" in warning boxes. I
hope it's OK ;)

It's a fantastic (and above all really expensive) work, thank you very
much! The question is now, where should be this tutorial placed and
linked from? Administration Guide?

Regards,
Roman

You are right, Roman. I will change the blue color and linking keywords
is a very good idea.

Yes, the tutorial will be part of the Administration Guide. After
polishing it, we will move it in the right place.

Hi Raluca,

very very great job, I especially like way you explained actions and steps in
the pictures. One thing though (might be only my display though): the yellow
frame and hand is not contrasting very well with the bg always. But it's so
great otherwise (I will also read the content). I think it should be pulled out
of drafts as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Anca

I added some bg for the hand. I think that it's enough.
Thank you for your feedback, Anca :)

IMO it should rather by moved in the DevGuide and linked from
Adminstration Guide.

Let's go ahead. Raluca, are you doing it?

I think we agreed with:
* Keep a Skin section in the Admin Guide to explain how to configure  
skins
* Add a new tutorial in the Dev Guide on how to develop a new skin and  
link it from the dev guide home page + from the admin guide skin  
configuration page.

Thanks
