We are starting private beta today, which will continue through mid September. We will then have a public beta period where a couple of designated wikis will be on the new skin. We expect to begin a graduated rollout in mid-Fall. This rollout depends on a lot of factors, so we will continue to post updates on the staff blog as the time grows closer.
