yes, a part of the Design team (Rasmus,Lasse, Kasper and me) met on 
wednesday in Copenhagen to discuss and plan this and made a schedule.

Only icons and colors mostly, to fit the CI.
The new skin will be a extension enabled by default - so you can just 
disable it and have the old skin back.

You mean lightweight code by favoring CSS over inline styles / HTML ?
Definitely. At the moment im restructuring the CSS to be more modular 
and well documented.
Next step will involve putting the bugtracker online and cleaning some 
extensions of inline styles.

> - Can we make design/usability suggestion and how?

No, as this will only be done to fit the CI which is in the hand of the 
design team. But you are welcome to join up for the design/usability 
work on 4.5.

We will come back to you next week with a public demo.

bye,
Thomas
