I'd be very interested in such a project, though I'm not sure that my 
technical skills would be much help. If it was possible to import 
histories it wouldn't be that hard to do a history merge, although 
really the whole thing would make the most sense done by scripts.

What kind of entries are you referring to here? Just glancing about for 
an example, I discovered that the history for [[Computer science]] on 
the English Wikipedia begins with the last edit shown for it on the 
nostalgia.wikipedia site, so obviously that's one type. Are there other 
sources to pull missing history from, or is this what you had in mind?
