I've been thinking about this idea a bit more -

Skin Ideas subforum - An area open to everyone for posting of ideas, concepts, mockups etc.

WIP Concepts subforum - An area where only members of the skinners group can post and would be read only to everyone else. This is for early work that's deemed not ready for end users but the skinner may want to make it public to exchange ideas with other skinners, also having this early work public can act as a source of inspiration to other skinners even if it ends up abandoned.

WIP Testing subforum - An area that only members of the skinners group can create new threads and but anyone can post. Once the skinner deems something has progressed enough or wants end user feedback they create a new thread in this forum for beta testing and general user feedback.

How about we make it even simpler?

[Concept] Ideas, mock-ups, and suggestions.

• Basically anything that hasn't reached the coding stage. Keeping it separate would also help when looking for ideas and inspiration.
  

[Development] Work in progress.

• Skins that have started life but aren't anywhere near ready for release.
  

[Release] Alpha and Beta releases.

• Skins that have reached the cycle where they're ready for testing.
  

Everyone is able to post in them and, hopefully, know what to expect from them.
