I suggest to the admin to make the size of the center block relative so it will stretch easily. I also suggest that the font size be adjusted dynamically in response to changing resolutions, maybe a javascript implementation will do. On the other hand, this will depend on the theme setup of a particular site.
But first impression last. We don't want to loose the first timers who are very capable of improvement and will be a good nuker someday.
Maybe another setup of a postnuke site with focus on interface and multimedia will be a good start. For example, a single page where screenshots of working sites or even graphic templates are posted.
We are confident enough, I guess, because a team has already been formed to deal with the development of the php and database core.
Fuctionality and Usability will be our stronghold, this will be our edge.
