The decks and some of the cards.

I'd want to doublecheck chaoswiki's license, but it would probably be possible to run a script to dump the chaoswiki over to the devwiki. Also, If we asked nicely, the chaoswiki admins might give us the scripts that they use to automatically update the monster pages, which would be nice.
The trick would be, first, getting people to contribute to and use our wiki; posting about it on the blog, forums, etc would help, but google search rankings are still going to favor chaoswiki for some time. (The admins there seem like nice people - I don't know if I want to get into some weird competition with them. Probably the first thing to do with this plan would be to talk with them...) Second, we'd need to have a plan to deal with spam - which iirc is the reason that the chaoswiki people went with their extremely locked-down registrations scheme in the first place? (Correct me if I'm wrong there.)
If we
do have an idea for how to run a crawl wiki without the onerous registration system that the chaosforge wiki uses, it might be simplest to just suggest that the chaosforge wiki adopt that.
