I probably should elaborate a bit.  It doesn't take any other tools than
a browser to transfer the old pages. You'll just need to create an
account on http://live.gnome.org/UserPreferences, and then you can login
and start editing pages right in the browser.  The Wiki formatting used
is simple and described in the page and more extensively behind links. 

I'd prefer if we at first transfer the pages pretty much as they are,
just updating to use Wiki formatting where possible.  Beware that while
the GUI mode can be helpful, it sometimes thinks it can do more than is
actually possible with the Wiki syntax.  The DiaDocumentation pages
should serve as an example of how to transfer a page -- we don't need to
keep the exact formatting, but all of the text and links in a readable
manner should be retained, even if somewhat outdated.  We can update
them later.

There are links at the bottom of the Wiki pages to empty pages
corresponding to the pages on the old site
(http://www.gnome.org/projects/dia).  If you've been wanting to do
something for Dia, or just on a lark want to help, feel free to go in
and Wiki!
