To get an account, I emailed: indichix at linuxchix.org and Runa created
me an account.

The right way to get content for the existing wiki (linuxchix.org.in)
would be to bundle Apache/ Mysql DB that goes with it and migrate the
site. As this seems moot now,  I was able to use "wget"  and get the
entire site:

#wget -r http://linuxchix.org.in

</snip>

This means cleaning/ structuring html pages and then importing content
to the new wiki. Would this work?
