Sounds like a great idea to me, assuming the owners are able to help.
Any of your five choices would work, although actually I'm not sure
about #1... the base http://squeak.org address has been discussed on
this list before and I think we agreed that at least the home page
should remain a static html page. But there could be direct links to
the swiki, which could be "part" of the squeak.org pages as
wiki.squeak.org, etc.
