It has been done before. World66, now owned by the same company that
bought WikiTravel.org, switched from GFDL to CC-BY-SA.

As http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World66#Issues says "World66
relicensed all content to an open license first a GNU FDL license and
consequently to CC by-sa 1.0 - those who had contributed under GNU FDL
license were informed of the change by e-mail and had the possibility
to withdraw contributions."

World66 previously merged with the CapitanCook Wiki which had at least
1800 GFDL articles at the time. It also includes content from
Wikipedia [1]. A WikiTravel admin claimed [2] the plan is for it to
later merge with Wikitravel (which is cc-by-sa).
