Thanks for looking into the bot issue!
I agree with Cindy on the decision, Chameleon is widely deployed (especially with SMW and enterprise wikis) and it's likely that it'll receive consistent and reliable support.
For improvements, it might be more accessible and manageable if we can put up a talk page on WikiApiary as a RfC for it, so visitors can chime in and discuss on the suggestions.
If you don't mind, I can help with the styling of the wiki. However, that will probably be a while since I have to rewrite the templates into Bootstrap. Once the templates are implemented, the content and the skin will use the same design system, then we can look into making visual changes.
