I'd personally really love it if the MediaWiki had the same look-and-feel
as the main website..  But unfortunately I suspect that the CSS would need
to be different.  Having the same chrome would be really sweet!!   BUT..
We should "finalize" the new website look-and-feel first and then translate
that over to the MediaWiki (and maybe Trac?)

I have no objections to the current prosed chrome, but I have no objections
to new chrome.

I'm currently working on the mail-list search out of htdocs/trunk/search
to make it work with the existing website chrome.  Right now I'm working
on getting the translations to work through PHP, but I think I've got
that all set.  Once I get all the "existing" translations back into the
.po files I'll probably migrate the "beta search" site on the server
over to this site to see how it works.  But feel free to look at r14231
for my current code and translations.

In terms of a reworked chrome for the new site, so long as the CSS is
the same then the new mail-search should take on that chrome automatically.
