I'm fully ready to admit this is not my area of expertise, which is why I thought I'd throw this idea out before putting too much effort into it. I don't think there is a built-in export function, but all the posts are stored as XML in a single file, so it shouldn't be hard to scrape the content if desired.

I also confess ignorance as to how standard the markup language is. Perhaps any contributions should stick to plain text if possible to aid future conversion.

The markup is more or less standard. Some adjustments will, however, need to be made before porting. The posts can be extracted pretty easily.

However, I would not recommend this, except as a very basic start up, because the single file in which everything is stored grows in size pretty fast.

Ciphergoth took the initiative and set up a Wikia account, so the semi-official wiki is now at http://lesswrong.wikia.com
