This does not seem to have to do anything with hacking. It's a wiki, so 
the malicious visitor just edited the homepage (many times) and put 
something else in place. I restored a previous version (which is a very 
easy taks that could be done by anyone...just browse through the 
revisions (the '<' at the top), find a good version, edit the page, save 
the page...)

Thanks for letting me know ...
