Look, look, I did some too.

I've amended the 1.0 version of Ivor's wikihoover to separate out some
of the metadata before pasting to the destination wiki.  I used 1.0 rather
than the newest version because the first time I tried the newest one
with a CGI::Wiki wiki as the destination I got odd results, and I was
impatient to hack rather than debug.  (Sorry, Ivor, I *know* how
horribly frustrating it is when someone insists on forking off old code
but I was all excited.)

  http://klimt.penseroso.com:81/cgi-bin/kake/usemod-cgi-wiki/wiki.cgi

is what I've hoovered into; it separates out the categories (using a
very simple split on things like '<b>Categories:</b>') and the OS X/Y
co-ordinates (using WWW::Grubstreet::Locator on the original page).

Somewhat bandwidth-intensive, and also imperfect, but so shiny.

The source for my forked hoover is linked from that page.  The source
for the wiki is essentially that at

  http://the.earth.li/~kake/code/cgi-wiki-usemod-emulator/

with a couple of tweaks for displaying/storing the OS co-ords in the
same way as the categories.
