IMO it's a great idea, considering how much useful information the FAQ 
contains.
But I guess that means Vim Tips Wiki becomes general Vim Wiki now? Or 
was it supposed to be tips-only wiki? Do you plan on keeping the 
distinction between FAQ part and Tips part with references to old 
sites or merging them eventually?

I don't see that a great problem with the old FAQ still available.

Yet, being able to easily download the whole wiki (or selected/top 
-rated pages) would be a nice feature. Think of reading the tips 
offline, printing them to a booklet or plugin displaying random tips 
in Vim as "tip of the day". I think there was such possibility with 
the old wiki tips?
