Current state of skins

The last question about skins (from August) I could find says that skins can only be loaded from the existing skins directory, and that it would be better to defer HTML customisation until the skins are re-written in Jinja2.

I notice that some things have changed: doing pip install askbot installed jinja2, so it is presumably now used, there is a skin setting in /settings, and the default settings.py has the following line:

os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),'askbot','skins').replace('\\','/')

Does this all mean that we can more easily customise and do it in an askbot/settings directory?
