Re: Re: Web interface prototype

I think it's safe to say that this new skin will require substantial  
improvments to the perl back-end.

I'd like to make sure that whatever back-end changes are made, we try  
to make them as skin-neutral as possible.  This way when somebody new  
comes up with a great new skin, they can build on the existing work.   
That said, we need to be careful not to break the existing skins and to  
make sure that we aren't putting an undue performance burden on every  
skin for a feature in one skin.

As an example, I just got off the phone with Eric Oson (hi Eric!) and  
he's going to take a look at reworking some of his skin-specific perl  
to be more generally useful across skins.
