I work as a designer. And seeing fellow designers doing things without research on the domain they're designing in is shocking. This is basic stuff, and people need a heads up.
The designers should take this as valuable input, ignore the subjective comments, and move on to create greater things.
Yeah, but I sort of took it in the same way you take it when you see a design for transparent phone that you can roll up and put in your pocket. The technology isn't there to do that, it just is what it is.
My point is that I don't think their design had the existing technology / current Wiki infrastructure in mind (and never meant to).
It was just design for the sake of design - it didn't need to be based on a MediaWiki theme or anything like that. It's just a visual representation of what 'could be'.
