Wouldn't it be better to switch the complete website to something like 
ikiwiki[1]? That way every developer has the complete site and history 
available offline for editing and non-developers can edit it using their 
webbrowsers. Both http://monotone.ca/ and http://cairographics.org/ are 
very happy after their transition to ikiwiki.

[1] ikiwiki has mtn/svn/hg/git backends, so we can keep it in our 
scm-du-jour.
