I'd like to clean up the main page of the wiki a bit. It contains links to lots of outdated information. Some pages are also not needed anymore and can cause confusion, so I'd like to remove them. Can I have administrator access to the wiki? My login is "Tweenk".

I'm not the person to ask about admin access, but possibly you don't need administrator access.
Administrator actions may not have as good history record as normal user changes.
It's good to still have pages accessible with a search, even if they aren't linked from the front page. (Sometimes one does want to revisit past decisions, or is interested in old pages for other reasons -- just as it's useful to look at old versions of source in svn.)
What changes do you have in mind? Maybe someone else has ideas, or can do whatever things are best done as administrator.
Consider discussing on IRC/Jabber, btw (http://inkscape.org/discussion.php).
pjrm.

I mainly mean cleaning up the front page, which has a lot of WikiWords (I can move pages to Non Wiki Words names even as a normal user, but I don't have the rights to update the links on the main page). Another thing is removing extremely outdated developer information, e.g. there was a page about "reprs", e.g. the version of our XML subsystem from before the conversion to C++. I don't think this page has any reason to stay in the wiki, because its content can be confusing at best. I would also move most links from the main page into subpages so that people can make their documentation visible more easily.
If regular users can be given only the rights to edit the main page and delete pages, then of course I would settle for that.
