I'd be happy to take and maintain the memoirs. I'm not sure what's to be done with the personal and company tribute pages, as they aren't really consistent with the mission of memorywiki.org.

As a part of my effort to enrich www.memorywiki.org, I would like to take some of the personal memoir content from 9/11wiki and posting it to the site. I think my audience would benefit from the memoirs, and that the memoirs would be more widely read (eventually).

How about just moving the whole wiki there rather than copying it page by page?

I see no point in keeping in what was supposed to be an archive of content that had to be removed from the English Wikipedia in an editable form as a unwanted pseudo-Wikimedia project. It is not well maintained, as a check of the main page's history will show before I resorted to protecting it. Considering the difficulty in getting any new project approved by Wikimedia, including a lot of very worthwhile ideas, I don't see the point in keeping one controversial, monolingual, biased wiki that has no community.

I really think this would be an ideal opportunity to find a new home for it.
