Re: Templates vs. skins: setting the default

Murray,

Currently, the admin has no ability to set skin, or any of the UserPreferences.
The default values are set --hardcoded-- in the
com.ecyrd.jspwiki.preferences.Preferences class,

A patch to read these initials from say jspwiki.properties would be
appreciated, of course :-))
