Foreground is a MediaWiki skin that puts your content front and center!
This has to be the most beautiful MediaWiki skin yet. Kudos! — Andrew Howden
Goodbye Tables
Powered by the Foundation 5 framework (v5.5.3) Foreground offers an intelligent Grid that allows you to achieve complicated page layouts without resorting MediaWiki table syntax.
Responsive Grid
Nothing in Foundation will limit your responsiveness. Design your templates and pages right and you will have a mobile delight! Try it right now, make this window small! I dare you!
Semantic MediaWiki Ready!
Foreground has class definitions to extend into Semantic MediaWiki and Page Forms.

- When updating to REL1_41 make sure that you place the skin in
