I have uploaded a new version of the Winter prototype, version 0.5.
You may play with it here: http://unicorn.wmflabs.org/winter/
And give feedback here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Winter
After a significant battery of tests, several changes have been made (and will be going into test this coming week).
Most notable:
* Personal tools section no longer modifies itself upon scroll and remains fully expanded.
* In-header table of contents now appears to the left of the search box. It has been further expanded to include page-context links. The visual design of the menu requires work.
* Moved Language links into the page context ribbon area.
- Hovering over the affordance will show some languages to better enable discovery
- Clicking will open the language list. This could be the ULS; could be something else. But a pulldown list isn't working.
-This is for testing discoverability.
* Moved the watchlist star out of the context ribbon and right next to the article title.
* Some context-ribbon button labels are now automatically updating
- Discussions counts the sections in the talk page and changes accordingling (e.g., "35 Discussions") (We're aware that there are possible caching issues with live implementation)
- The history link now shows the last updated time in human-readable format.
A new experimental thing:
* Added new toggle, "Hidden Sidebar". This hides all sidebar links until hover over the logo.
- Toggle off or on from the sidebar.
- It needs a ''lot'' of work, especially around the "non-scrolled" visual state. This is possibly a throw-away experiment.
There are various other minor changes; full changelist can be found here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Winter#Version_0.5.2C_April_20.2C_2014
