The basic concept is simple:

1. create an archive of all web and wiki pages (a static archive should 
suffice).

2. create a basic structure for the new web and wiki (start with one of them) 
and consider technical constraints (e.g. the new CMS)

3. fill this basic structure with new pages by either:
-creating a new page from scratch
-taking an existing old page and updating it and adding an edit note to this 
old page in the archive and a link to the new page.


And all we should do NOW! is to start with point 1. or finally clarify why it 
can not be started.
What is nonsense is to wait with point 1. BECAUSE we have not yet clarified all 
Details for 2. and 3.



Why?
When I build a house, I also build the walls and the roof without having 
discussed beforehand which color the carpet should have later.
