The SkinLibDirs array "key" says where the 
"skin .tmpl file" is located and the 
SkinLibDirs array "value" says where the 
"skin css file" is located.

1
How does PMWiki determine the skin .tmpl 
file's filename to use?  Will it take 
ANYNAME.tmpl?

2
Should there be only 1 skin .tmpl file 
in each skin directory?

3
Image files like the css files must be
publicly accessible.  Would it be good
to put them into the same directory as the 
css file(s)?

4
Does PMWiki need to know anything about 
the documentation files, or are they 
intended for an administrator?

5
How does PMWiki determine where to get 
PHP files from?

Where is the php function called "func"?  I 
cannot find it anywhere.

It is better to say:

    SkinLibDirs allows you to keep some skin 
    files private while putting only required
    files into publicly accessible areas (like 
    css and image files). The array "key" says 
    where a skin's private files are located 
    and the array "value" says where a skin's 
    files that must be publicly accessible are 
    located.
?

8
Does PMWiki first search for skin files in the 
private area and then the public area and take 
whichever comes first?
