Don't waste your time. :)

Please do. I invite you to set up a suitable site and when you're done, invite
people voice their opinion. I'm not married to emacswiki.org – if somebody else
will do a better job, I'll gladly hand it over.

Start here and pick your starting point:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WikiDownload

The SVN repository will give you the raw wiki pages and no history. The Rsync
repository will give you everything including the log files.

Alex.
