That ought to work. We'll have to see how much traffic there really is (quite a few bots around that try to insert spam), but regular traffic shouldn't be much. The pages are mostly text and a few small images. Once installed, there isn't that much maintenance required: update of the wiki software once or twice a year, and an occasional dump of the DB and upload directory for backup purposes (no need for that unless there is some activity and content actually changes). In any case, I guess I will start by grabbing the latest stuff from berlios, then setting it up locally, to verify that it works. Possibly change the online version to readonly. Then whenever you have some time, we can install mediawiki on your box and import things. Sounds like a plan? Btw., what versions of PHP and MySQL are you running? Then I can try to match those locally to ensure everything will go smooth.
