Well, one could always set up FileSystemSite:
    http://www.infrae.com/download/FileSystemSite
and put the wiki there.  It is a single directory after all.  That would
help with SCM.

Then one could just "pull" the entire wiki as a series of text files.  I
think if the relevant directory were under svn/cvs/darcs control, the
wiki will ignore the extraneous files.  Of course, what happens when
Zope writes an update to a wiki file?

The entire zope database!?!?  One big 1GB file?  Each minor ZODB change
would be a single replacement of the ~1GB ZODB.  -- Which is why
FileSystemSite is probably required if you want to use SCM.

    Only after you've tried to figure something out for yourself and
    failed are you ready to absorb "the answer."
