That looks to be a good option for when you don't control the site that you are 
making a copy of, however we do control the site so I'm wondering if there's a 
better way?

I would quite like to see the site made available as a series of static web 
pages in a Git repository, so it can be easily cloned and only the updated 
pages need be downloaded with each update. Zim looks like it means copying the 
whole site each time, but I don't know it well enough to be sure.

If the static web pages were hosted on Github then there is a (free) feature 
called "Github pages" which means that Github will host the site as well 
provide the repository.
<https://docs.github.com/en/pages>

Since we already have a Github presence perhaps that can be used for this? And 
since it won't be the "master" of the wiki then hopefully people aren't so 
worried about data sovereignty?

The disadvantage is the extra work for Taco to generate a static copy of the 
wiki on a periodic basis, update the local repo and push to Gitlab. But I feel 
that can be scripted in order to minimise the effort.
