I have to admit this sounds like the smartest thing to do.

I like it but I got sidetracked by my girlfriend moving in with me. As it is,
the migration project is on the computer I was using at her house which is
collecting dust in my basement right now.

I did generate a list of wiki-pages by crawling the website (in hindsight, I
should probably have asked the admins to email me a list, sorry guys) and found
it was very easy to convert from Kwiki's syntax to markdown (so migration
should be lossless).

I did note that a lot of content looks like it could be improved. So a
migration would only be the first step in improving the website.
