Wow. Yes, cleaning up the templates was needed.

I'm far from bored :-/ but I changed various things, specially in the
Mediawiki:Sidebar.

Some time ago we had the wiki as the main page. Carlo set up a drupal
site as the "main site" so the wiki could be a community wiki. We never
finished the cleanup after that split.

Do whats easiest for you. The wiki page is good. The bugtracker is a
good way to make sure the specific items are followed up as I normally
go through the tickets before every stable release (every 6 month)

Now we need kick someone in the rear part to make those things happen...
