One of the reasons I adopted pmwiki was its easy of use. Its default skin is a very good starting point, which: - allows to understand how the whole thing works (not bad as you are starting over) - is very useable (despite the narrow column fashion of today) and blue/underlined links are still a good standard choice (old people are still there, so are visually impaired people, and a lot of other people want to just easily *use* the internet, not just keep on guessing where links could be on a page) - is easily customizable.
This does not mean there is no reason to enhance/renew it in some details, but I still would consider the default skin a real default/basic one. Without too many features, which find instead their own right place in the alternative skins, most of which are sound and interesting, like Hans' Triad (which i really like) or DaveG skins (just naming some). Such alternative skins could perhaps be more preeminently be shown off. So, if we need to make impression to newcomers, maybe a splash screen at the root page plus a better choice of fonts, colors and images could probably do. I wouldn't spoil/complicate the standard/default skin/approach. I believe that simple is better, as a starting point.
