Can you drop the Twiki graphic? (we don't need to adverstise for them
unless maybe they are advertising for us?) and maybe also some or all of
the navigation bar or (re)move it to the bottom of the page?

The navigation bar really sticks out, and not in a good way. It has a
distinctly different colour and is made up of three seperate parts.

Twiki is definately weighted heavily in favour of the editors whereas we
would expect massively more readers than editors so any clutter hurts
us.

Perhaps the organisation of the wiki would seem less confusing if it were
moved to a subdomain like faq.abisource.com or something?

If mod rewrite is available it maybe it would be nice to simplify the
paths and get rid of some of the superflous junk like "/twiki/bin/view/"
and make more memorable addresses?
