Make the wiki the front-and-center place where LW's content resides.

Today, most of the interesting content is in the Sequences, which are interlinked to each other (to some degree), but which do not link to the wiki. You could move the Sequences to the wiki. This would get people onto it. Part of why the Sequences are considered to be poorly organized is that the organization efforts can't touch the actual Sequences. Moving them to the wiki would change this. I expect the Sequences to improve with more eyes.

(Potential drawback: people don't expect blog posts to appear in wiki format, and could easily be confused about what Less Wrong was.)

I approve of your boldness, but I don't think this is a good idea. The Sequences are written as essays and have comments. Wikis aren't the right place for that sort of content.
