I would like to change the way this WikiSoftware looks, in fact I've made several attempts at theming this wiki and the PersonalTelco wiki over the years. None of my attempts have been particularly sucessful, in part because MoinMoin hasn't supported theming and so you have to monkey around in the source to make any significant changes. Fortunately the new release of MoinMoin (version 1.2) now has basic theme support so I'm once again looking around at how best to do this.

Requirements
No more icons for actions (I like this about the PersonalTelco wiki).
- No sidebar, I thought I liked this (note the current design) but it's annoying on my 12" laptop screen.
No tables for layout, use CascadingStyleSheets as much as possible.
- Should be able to get to any page, from any page, with two clicks
- Leaning towards drop down menus for the majority of navigation
- Should be capable of displaying a banner add and/or logo de jour.
- Should be capable of displaying a footer with a license. Ideally be able to display different licenses based on the category the page belongs to.
