+I wrote a script that will download all the latest revisions of a mediawiki site. In short, it does a good part of the stuff required for the migration: it downloads the goods (ie. the latest version of every page, automatically) and commits the resulting structure. There's still a good few pieces missing for an actual complete conversion to ikiwiki, but it's a pretty good start. It only talks with mediawiki through HTTP, so no special access is necessary. The downside of that is that it will not attempt to download every revision for performance reasons.
