Okay, I have "grep'd" the entire Language Reference, resulting in 80%  
clean wikitext. The students from my Technical Documentation /  
Professional Writing class will be checking the pages, tweaking what  
they can, and uploading the files fairly rapidly by this weekend.

Because the process was entirely auto-magic, what is pasted into Wiki  
will *not* be perfect. I wish we could just upload the pages  
instantly, too. Trust me, it beats using cut-and-paste via a template,  
even if it requires a second pass through the pages.

Wiki does allow for the uploading of files (images) which can then be  
used for screenshots or other illustrations. It probably takes only  
one or two tries to master that, so we should start including  
screenshots in the main documentation when possible. There is some  
sort of size limit for a Wiki, but I doubt we will be including that  
many images.

So -- every single LR page is done. Now it is up to the grunt labor of  
university seniors.
