Design

The current Monoskop skin was inspired by Moving Brands' Wikipedia Identity proposal and Michael Murtaugh's customized MediaWiki Monobook skin, and uses Fedra Sans font designed by Peter Biľak, along with Greek Font Society's Neohellenic font for the headlines.

Hosting

Monoskop runs on MediaWiki software, and is hosted by the Sanchez free art server, maintained by Multiplace.
