This means you don't want to use the Wiki for the current issue only
but want to keep all issues there?
Mmh, I don't care where the current issue is written but would prefer
if it would move later to www.debian.org/News/weekly/. This would allow to
have only "released" news and could reuse the translation framework
of the website such as statistics, robots, ... See e.g.
http://www.debian.org/devel/website/stats/de.html

I could convert the Wiki pages into WML and commit. But to be honest I
do not have any experience with wiki systems. I hope there is an easy way
to get it offline maybe also to do the conversion automatically ...
I would also continue working on the German translation (in CVS, not in
a wiki).
