Hi,

I was just trying to post something to the emacswiki site, and I figured it 
would be cool to browse/post wikis from within Emacs.  Half an hour and lots 
of reading later, I still have no idea how this can be done.

There is plenty of info on how to setup editing wiki stuff.  But what's the 
work flow to go from a bunch of webpages to emacs, and back again?

Yes.  The stuff is also on the wiki itself.
What you need are four files:

simple-wiki-mode does wiki hilighting and a few keybindings.
http-get allows you to get the plaintext from the wiki (no HTML!)
http-post allows you to post back to the wiki
simple-wiki-edit-mode is the glue that pulls it all together

Start exploring on

w3m calls the external w3m text mode browser to do the work.
