[Pmwiki-users] a plea to all custom skin makers

[Neil Herber]

Well, at least all of you who are kind enough to post your skins on 
PmWiki.org ...

First of all, thanks for posting the skins. They are a godsend to those of 
us who don't have the knowledge or patience to create our own skin.

I do find it frustrating to see a skin I like, download it and install it, 
only to find out that it does not render "properly" in IE 6. Many would 
argue that this is an IE 6 problem, and I agree. But telling that to my 
clients working in government agencies where the IT department has locked 
down all of the PCs, preventing the installation of even so much as a 
browser plugin doesn't do me any good.

I am not about to ask that all skins work on all browsers, but what would 
really help me (and possibly others) is a statement in each Cookbook/Skin 
description something like this:

!! Browser Compatibility
* Works with Firefox and Safari
* Does not work with IE 6 (WIn or Mac)
* Not tested with  Opera

That would save me getting all excited about a skin, downloading it, and 
then finding my clients can see the edit box any more.
