Hi William, I have already volunteered; Thierry set me up accounts on trac and wiki hosts, but I (still) lack sudo rights. Perhaps for moving the thing it's not needed, I didn't check. (Thierry replies to my emails very sparingly, like once a week?)
Moving wiki as it is to a VM does not look like a good idea, as it's running on a very old Ubuntu, and it'd need testing to see if its setup can be moved to an up-to date Ubuntu (or whatever). Perhaps it's indeed better to move the wiki to github (there were discussions about better/best wikis here, I didn't pay much attention to them). I do have 2-step auth enabled for my google account.
