Migrating the latest pages will be easy. I know enough Perl to do that.
Migrating history would be tougher, but should still be doable. (I'd dump it
all out and write a Python script to load it into SVN via the language
bindings to the svn repository)
So, no... *if* we migrate to SubWiki or some other Wiki, then we can get the
data out of UseModWiki.

I tried to install it last night from fink and figured out that that
URL is wrong. It should be:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/games/wtf/wtf?rev=
HEAD
You also need the acronyms file from:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/share/misc/acronym
s?rev=HEAD

I got it from fink, which gets it from this URL (part of netbsd?)

If SubWiki is used any time soon, dumping the history seems reasonable.
Finally, my chance to rewrite history .... ;)

Sounds like your approach follows the truism that in the worst case any open
source code that can read its own data can be instrumented to become its own
migration tool.
What would you guess is the relative effort to preserve the history? I'm
just wondering if the history value at the cut-over point will be worth the
incremental effort, unless you want to do it anyway as a proof-of-concept
for similar migrations.
