GFDL has long been considered a really awful licence for a wiki (it's
suited to large slow-changing software manuals with only a few
authors) and many people have spoken about switching to CC-by-sa ...
but it would be such a huge task to do so that no-one's managed it on
a Wikimedia project yet.

So if you can do it on one small project, that would be useful for
seeing what the rest of us would need to do to achieve the same ...

I'm not sure about CC-by for the reasons you state. Why did
WiktionaryZ choose CC-by rather than CC-by-sa?`
