The wiki/archives can be changed, if needed. I don't know how 'official' people want to be, I've never really held with officialness, obviously :) > 4) I am keeping the most recent version.

Looks don't really matter, though we can theme it differently if that's an actual problem. The software isn't seriously outdated, and I spend a lot of time keeping the information up to date. It should be reasonably up to date. It definitely needs some serious TLC. :) > We have very few processes in place in the organization right now.
