Yes, the front page used to have two columns with disparate information in both columns. That was the primary reason for the clutter of the page (other than ads). So I went into the source and removed the columns, then moved irrelevant information to other pages (e.g. information on helping with the wiki to the "Contributing " page).

Sadly, I cannot remove the right column for the rest of the wiki, but I don't think it detracts from the overall readability.
