Please, I was wondering if the Skins could be implemented using the Smarty Template Engine. It would be a lot easier to make and customize things that way. I didnt find much information about the current state of it. I looked at the project site, and bugs. Maybe not very well, but I am sending this here anyway.. Sorry if it is already an issue.

Some initial work was done with Smarty before PHPTAL was adopted. Since Smarty has the same speed and reliability problems that lead us to abandon PHPTAL (it has to create compiled PHP files from templates, then execute them), I don't think there would be much benefit to trying it again though.
Created attachment 4975 [details] Patch and readme
Since a customer of mine wanted to use Smarty I had no choice but to make it available in MediaWiki. It's still in it's alpha phase, but comments are welcome. Patch and readme above.

Not sure why this was marked FIXED. Changing accordingly.
