I have now tentatively migrated the main page over to <http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pipmak/index.php?title=Main_Page 
 > and my impression is that it doesn't look too bad. The SourceForge  
bar at the top isn't as disturbing anymore as it was in earlier  
revisions and the lack of Pipmak-specific appearance, primarily in the  
sidebar, is unfortunate but no serious obstacle. Importing pages with  
full history seems to work fine, and I can even (manually) filter out  
spam revisions. The server seemed a bit slow at times, but I hope that  
was a temporary condition. One big advantage, apart from the newer  
version and centralized maintenance, is that this wiki can send e- 
mail, e.g. for watched pages.

Before I can do the real full import, I now need to know the  
SourceForge user names of all past contributors so that I can match  
them up with the names stored in the dump. I will contact everyone  
concerned separately.

Do not make any edits in the new wiki yet, they would be lost when I  
move things over for real - I will announce the time of the cutover  
later.
