Being a small wiki, with few contributors and little articles, wiki 
licensing could be switched to a dual license like GFDL-Cc-by-sa.
Cc-by-sa is very similar to the GFDL terms, but license text is not 
required.
You would need to contact with all contributors to get their agreement to 
publish their previous work under cc-by-sa too. Changing the licensing 
informationg would make the future ones. And a strong community consensus 
required :)

Be aware that contributions previous to the switching will be GFDL-only so 
you couldn't publich it under the second one. This may not apply to trivial 
information (e.g. like those ips usually give).
Unrelicensable texts could either:
-Be deleted (the strict way)
-Tag them with a template saying 'some parts of this may not be available 
under CC ' (the easier way)
