Hi,
I'd like to propose to Team Kodi and the WIP skinning community the idea of an 'experimental' skins repository that would sit alongside the current official and 'WIP' skin repo's.
This repo would be for skins that are complete and tested, but that would not pass the requirements for an official skin for one reason or another (e.g. lack of support for feature 'x' , deliberate non-inclusion of a particular window / dialog etc to maintain a design scheme). Such skins would of course still need to adhere to official repo requirements for assets like fonts and background imagery, but would otherwise be free (within reason) to take their designs wherever they wanted.
Such a repo would obviously be of benefit to folk like me (Pellucid is unlikely to make the requirements for an official skin, but I still think it's worthy work), but I also feel there are other skinners who might want to push at the boundaries of Kodi a little and would benefit from having greater 'official' exposure to their work.
Anyway, just a suggestion. Thoughts?
