Hi,
I've gotten the data.  I have the folder containing MySQL MyISAM
database files (formerly /var/lib/mysql/gobokb); I understand that
placing this folder in the MySQL data directory is sufficient to
import the database.  I should shortly be able to get a "mysqldump"
SQL file to import if that would be better (the latter is about 30 mb,
vs 2.5 mb for the original data, however.)

After creating the MySQL database, you can either install MediaWiki
and then replace LocalSettings.php and the skins, images, and
extensions folders with ones I send (about 2mb gzipped), or I can send
the whole MediaWiki folder (about 14mb gzipped) which should just work
if you drop it in [web root]/w and put the necessary settings in
apache's config.  I'll include the relevant part of my apache2.conf
(which will need to be edited.)

LocalSettings.php will also need editing.  In particular, wgDBname,
wgDBuser, wgDBpassword; wgMainCacheType and wgMemCachedServers
depending if you're running memcached; and stuff for ImageMagick,
tidy, and diff3 depending if/where they're installed.

So: where should I send the data?  Should I send the whole mediawiki
install, or just the localized parts?

Nick
