The problem was the licensing. Only pages whose authors were known, and who gave permission to license the work freely, were ported. And only some of those pages actually got moved.
I'm not a lawyer, but I like to say, that the new HaskellWiki is just a new way to present the old content. What have the authors (implicitly) agreed on, when they entered content into Hawiki? What exactly is "Hawiki". If you had reconfigured Hawiki to be presented in different colors, with different font, different frame, different design - at which point would Hawiki have been no longer Hawiki, thus requiring new permission from authors? Now, since Moin-Moin-Hawiki is gone, can HaskellWiki be considered as a new design of Hawiki, a different engine presenting the same old content?
