Did you find any template that limits the max-width?
The only one I found and which looks okish is: http://www.dokuwiki.org/template:doogie
It's currently running on our wiki. It feels more like a blog layout than a wiki but maybe this is jjust because of the top navigation buttons instead of a sidebar. Is this better? The actual width of the page can surely be changed easily via CSS.
Ah, I missed that one. Only thing missing seems to be sitemap when not logged in, the only way of finding the newsletter stuff is via its tag (or search).
I have converted the build system guide to docuwiki (sigh, just as annoying as I expected) but haven't had time to make the images yet. I added it with a howto tag and build and configure tags.
Which raises the question, how much consistency do we want in tags and how to control it?
