CIS-Dept. Lean Skin for PmWiki 2
================================
README.txt

About the skin
--------------
This is a clean, minimalist skin for PmWiki 2 that was created with usability
in mind. It evolved from a similar skin for PmWiki 1, which can be found here:
   http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki-v1/Cookbook/LeanSkin

Design objectives
-----------------
* Be understated without being stripped bare.  Emphasize the content.
* Treat screen pixels as valuable and scrolling as inconvenient.
* Avoid displaying nonessential duplicate links.
* Avoid linking from a page to itself (self-referencing links).
* Give navigation links conspicuous placement in the layout.
* Be easy to use for both inexperienced and seasoned veteran wiki users.
* Allow wiki links and last-modified output to be obscure or invisible.
* Provide an adequate text area (approx. 80 x 30) for easy editing.
* Keep the main content area a reasonable width for easier reading.
* Produce pages that render similarly in various browsers.
* Be easily customizable to suit personal preference.

The skin generates valid XHTML 1.0 and CSS output according to w3c.org's
validation service ( http://validator.w3.org/ ).

Access Keys
-----------
Access keys appear to be popular now.  Not to be left behind, I've included
the following access keys:

accesskey+'c' = Recent [C]hanges in current group 
accesskey+'a' = [A]ll recent changes
accesskey+'b' = Edit side[B]ar
accesskey+'e' = [E]dit Page
accesskey+'h' = Page [H]istory
accesskey+'p' = [P]review page when editing
accesskey+'s' = [S]ave page when editing

Using access keys allows your site to have "Invisible Wiki Links",
where the wiki links aren't displayed but their access keys still work
(in Firefox but not Internet Explorer). Just uncomment the appropriate
some lines in the stylesheet (lean.css) and you will have a quick- and
easy-to-edit wiki that looks like an ordinary web site.
