Translating pages into Wiki markup by hand seems insane to me; it'll take
weeks to do all the documents, and then it'll quickly drift out of date.
Allowing editing of the body of the docs also seems pointless because it'll
be too difficult to find changes and apply them to the LaTeX source.

Why not just start a new site with a copy of the downloadable HTML docs, and
then add comments to each page with a server-side include or some similar
mechanism?
