Update as of Oct 19: The Web team has posted this section below highlighting the team's main takeaways from the discussion and the next steps the team will undertake.
The skin introduces changes to the navigation and layout of the site, adds persistent elements such as a sticky header and Table of Contents, and makes changes to the overall styling of the page. Currently, the skin is the default on more than 30 projects of various sizes, accounting for a bit more than 1 billion pageviews per month. To preview what the skin looks like, go to this article (open in a private browser window to see what it will look like for a logged-out reader).
