Okay, that looks very, very nice. I love the new sidebar and tabs.

My 2 cents: The tabs are nice and look great, go with it! The edit toolbar hiding is nice. I’m only unsure whether highlighting a word then clicking bold, and then highlighting the same word and clicking bold again, should remove the bolding, rather than adding the bolding twice. I have concerns about search results though, and wonder if they could be simplified further. Why does a non-technical user (or most users) care about this line: “12 KB (1833 words) – 02:50, 30 April 2009″? Perhaps this line could be removed? Also the space is not used very efficiently in the search results: compare a Google search for “test” versus a search on the prototype site for “test”. The Google results have 10 results (on my screen) with 2 lines max text each, in a smaller font, and “feels right” to me. The prototype results have 8 results, some with 3 lines of text each, in a larger font. So suggest showing more results on the page, with max 2 lines of excerpted contents, and a slightly smaller font. Also the Google results don’t include HTML tags, but the prototype results do include wiki tags/braces/markup/etc, which most users do not want to see. But please understand that this is not intended in any way to discourage you – improvement in the layout of the search results is badly needed, I just want it to go even further! :-)
– All the best,
Nick.

This is good news. I’m looking forward to testing the new skin in a more “live” way.
