Hey, I've been trying to do something like that for a while, I got the tora (without nikug or tehamim) and I saw someone put in wiki the mishana. There are a lot of other texts like perushim to the tora malbim gmara and so on, but with qustionable license. (I think I emailed the list about it a while ago asking). Well since I'm no lawyer the only option was to ignore existing things online and start from scatch(unless someone else knows of a better option). My idea was not to only give a plain text but to also use XML to split it to chapter/verses and then when in example in the mishna there is a verse from the tora to change it to a link to the right place. I advanced a bit about it (was half a way around to writing a script that does it).
