Mm - I have to agree on this one unfortunately! I have been at a fair
number of wikis, and they always seem confusing to me - and ugly.
Despite the good effort my personal impression is th the original site
is much more intuitive. But I guess that is just a matter of changing
the lay out of the site since the database is in place. My advice would
be: tune down the wiki aspect. Make the software list right there in
your face when you arrive.
