Maybe the core framework should be provided as a web service, like SOAP or REST. Most users don’t want to invest time into skinning. It would be more likely to have web designers, programmers, basing new sites based on the service.
Wait, this actually sounds like an important project. Since sites like this are likely to make a lot of lives better—I am currently testing Happify for me—an ecosystem of one web service and a hundred sites on top of for various tastes and attitudes sounds like something that could make quite an impact. Anyone from the Silicon Valley listening? :)

By skinnable I meant a facility whereby a motivated user can create a skin and make it available as a selection to the less motivated users.
Where the point is to plow new ground in personal motivation, I’d consider configurability important for expermenting and disseminating improved setups, and then personalizing the user experience.
