I'm not sure how you see that would be an improvement. I'm not planning to
personally update the 1200 tips! I just have the local copy of the files so
I can very rapidly scan them. Anyone can do the same on vim.wikia.com, but
it's very slow. (However, my main motivation for downloading all tips was to
use a script to find which tips were missing or had broken titles - that is
now done.)

I don't think there's any better way to proceed, other than getting on with
it. The real problem (and the reason we now have a wiki) is that a lot of
the original tips contained a lot of junk, so a lot of individual cleaning
is required.
