That sounds like a good idea. The latest release of Instiki features 
markup exporting. You get the entire contents of a wiki in their 
original markup form, which should be rather easy to parse into another 
wiki system.

There's great potential for interoperability between wikis as 
standardized markup syntaxes like Textile and Markdown takes hold.

Perhaps we could team up for a common interop format that someone could 
write convertors for, which would benefit RuWiki, Instiki, and any 
other wiki that implemented the same API.
