Requests for comment/Redo skin framework/SkinApiSpecification

I (Jdlrobson) am sort of hijacking Trevor's RFC here. I think it will be useful to spec out what we imagine a Skin Api looking like after writing a patch on Gerrit. If you are a frontend developer be bold! and feel free to edit this page and help build the JavaScript interface we want to work with. Feel free to create Requests_for_comment/Redo_skin_framework/SkinApiSpecification2 if you're idea is drastically different :) The more ideas the better!

( function( $, mw ) {
	var config = mw.config.get( 'wgSkinConfig' );

	function Skin( config ) {
		this.config = config;
	}

	Skin.prototype = {
		/* returns the name of the current skin e.g. vector */
		getName: function() { return this.config.name; },
		/* returns the element which results in the watching of an element */
		getWatchPageElement: function() {
			if ( this.config.watchPageSelector ) {
				return $( this.config.watchPageSelector );
			} else {
				mw.log( 'Skin needs to define watchPageSelector config property' );
				return;
			}
		},
          	getVariantMenu: function() {},
          	getLanguagesList: function() {},
          	getMainNavigationMenu: function() {},
          	getNamespaceMenu: function() {},
          	getPersonalMenu: function() {}
	};

	if ( !config ) {
		mw.log( 'Skin needs to use wgSkinConfig' );
		config = {};
	}
	mw.skin = new Skin( config );
