That's a nice offer!

There are a couple of caveats though:

Mercurial wiki still uses MoinMoin 1.5.3 (with the old wiki syntax, see
"Show debugging information" in the attached error page):

    * Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2008 08:28:04 +0000
    * Platform: Linux waste.org 2.6.18-6-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 18:02:52 UTC 2008 x86_64
    * Python: Python 2.4.4 (/usr/bin/python)
    * MoinMoin: Release 1.5.3 (release)

http://moinmo.in/MoinMoinDownload states:

"The upgrade to 1.6 represents many wiki-syntax and core code changes, making the
upgrade process somewhat more interesting than past upgrades. Below are two "how-to"
guides that may help."

It might be easier to setup a new mirror if the master could first
be upgraded to a newer version of moinmoin (current release is 1.7.1).

Another problem area is the installed wiki extension which creates
the graphs (was it Graphviz?).

Then maybe rsync could be used to pull the files from the master
(if Matt is willing to provide rsync read access to the relevant
parts)

Oh well. Not sure I'm really confident on that limit... :-)
