I think this perfectly fits with the spirit of copyleft, so it's a great
idea. Under copyleft, you're free to use some content and modify it,
provided that it stays free. In this way, we both benefit. Up to now, there
hasn't been that much emphasis on the fact that wiki* content can be
improved offsite and then re-imported back. So, if there is an efficient way
to do it, let's go for it.
