> Thanks Nemo - that's a very useful link. It's good to see that there's a number of "merge w/ internal" comments/suggestions there, which would make a lot of sense to me.

Disclaimer: I didn't add those notes. :)

Second technical note: a merge from a private wiki to another is very 
simple, because you don't have to check for confidentiality.
For small wikis without files it's just a matter of Special:Export and 
Special:Import by a user with sufficient rights. Pages can be imported 
into a new namespace to avoid conflicts and to add namespace-specific 
user permissions if needed. Sysadmins are able to do it right, the only 
missing piece being the logs; it was recently done with wikitech-old 
merged into http://wikitech.wikimedia.org .
