No worries, I've noted the above here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/DevelDoc/AboutTheFAQ
As for importing the information... would it be better to import the text
using some other format than latex? I was thinking of DocBook or HTML, but
maybe there are other formats that are more suitable?
I'm pretty sure there will someday be a method to export pmwiki pages as
some other format, but I'm not sure what that'll be. There are people on
the pmwiki-list that like doing this kind of thing and might welcome ideas
for what a suitable format should be.
Speaking of ideas... I have a very loose and long term idea of being able
to edit the wiki pages from within LyX :-) (Right now I edit them from
within Emacs using a mode I wrote/adapted for that purpose)
