Interesting that the site uses a right side bar, which is common on 
"author-centric" wordpress themes.

Yes and especially for a publishing tool that has as its first design 
principle, "Favour writers over readers".

Good designs last a long time, but a face-lift can make a good design 
better. It would not take much:

- bring the css up to date (links, headings, body width, etc)

- consider switching to a right side-bar (or make this a 
local/config.php option to show how easy it is to customise pmwiki 
templates)
