One thing I forgot.  From archive.org's FAQ:

"Q: How can I get a copy of the pages on my Web site? If my site got
hacked or damaged, could I get a backup from the Archive?'

A: Our terms of use do not cover backups for the general public.
However, you may use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to locate
and access archived versions of your web site. We can't guarantee that
your site has been or will be archived. For siteowners only we offer
limited backup capabilites. Send your request to info at archive dot
org for more information."

Who would be the "siteowner" for the wiki?  Previously, given it's a
community site, I'd say that one of us could have probably convinced
archive.org to help us out.  But now that "they" have put up a
restrictive robots.txt, I think we're screwed unless we can contact
someone "in charge."
