If this is the only way, I'd rather live with the non-perfect situation
and discuss about licensing issues from time to time.

It doesn't matter what solution is adopted, there will be problems
related to the licence that the material is distributed under.   One
licence ---especially if it is a well understood one --- makes usage
of the material much easier for third parties. (Personally, I'd
suggest CC-BY-SA 3.0 --- The non-localized version of 3.0  --- with
"attribution" being defined as the wiki.

There is a lot more at the wiki than FAQ. There are some extremely

I should have phrased that as "invite all prior contributors to
restart their contributions to the wiki".

idea of PD. But it would be hard to contact some of the authors :-(

Appoint somebody to contact all authors, and for those who either can
not be contacted, or who decline to allow their material to be
relicensed, make a non-public archive of the affected pages. Depending
upon the number of pages thus affected, have two or three people
rewrite those articles from scratch.

On a personal note, I'm waiting for the wiki licence issue to be
resolved, before submitting anything there. [I've got half a dozen
how-to articles on my computer.]
