Hmmm, well, I'm not that great with SQL. but I do know that there'll have 
to be some structural transformations take place to fit the schema in 
MySQL for Mediawiki - but I sure can take a look at it and see.

If you want to e-mail it, you can send it to povwiki at gmail (set that 
up just for the wiki).

Or I can arrange to pick it up on an FTP server at work on Thursday.  
Whichever works best for you. :-)
