Hey, you began with the colors on the current wiki >;)

But on the other hand - what are "professional" colors?

That can be changed (or copied over from another theme).

Bold I guess. Is doable.

I like it the way it is - underline them if the mouse hovers over them.
It helps still being readable if links occur in larger texts -
underlining them hinders the reading flow (in my opinion).

I absolutely *do* hate side bars (like MedaWiki has them). But as I
said: The table hosting "current events" has it's own css class, so it
should be possible to move it around on the page - and to give it a
different look. I've done it as a table, as that is the *only* place I
can tell the wiki to use css style sheets while editing text - see
<http://wiki-m.centos.org/HelpOnTables>.

There might be plugins for something similar, I haven't looked yet.

I'd keep at least SiteNavigation and RecentChanges

This is the space where I'd like to put the Creative Commons stuff.

That is strange, as you should be able to - you had access to the old
wiki.
