Sure, we dont intend to use the exact same style. We will modify
it, but its much easier to derive a new style by re-using an existing
one. 

Thanks, for the response. If there is no issue with the copy right 
then we would like to look at the skin and modify it accordingly. 
Needless to say as an event which is run by the community the 
last thing we would like to do is to duplicate/dilute all the branding 
that wiki and its layout has given to OpenSuse. 

Thanks again, 
Shreyas
