I have never reimported the wiki database, so I have no idea whether
it works or whether I am using the correct export options.

I think you will understand better the problems if you try to
configure the wiki yourself, although if you have experience with
mediawiki you may find it easier than I did. I think you will need
some passwords and permissions first though. Please let me know what
you need. Note that part of the problem setting up mediawiki on
sourceforge is that you need to use a series of workarounds as SF
prevents certain actions required by mediawiki. The series of
workarounds I used is slightly different than those used by OpenBabel.

I don't think anything can be done about this. OpenBabel is the same.
SF is good, but slow, even for html web sites with a few images.
