1) Take a lok at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_on_a_stick
2) If there's only one main server at each moment, you could copy *all*
database files from the latest to the older one. Or have the oldest act
as a slave. If you want to modify both versions and then merge, i don't
think it can be done, as there can be contradictory changes.
