Speaking as someone who's idea of a fun night includes "download dumps
of wikipedia, and write scripts to process the content", let me assure
you that making text editable through a web form in a low-barrier way
for people with minimal experience with markup stuff, in no way prevents
said text from being downloadable.
That said, actually making it conveniently downloadable and good looking
locally and so on probably requires some thought when choosing and/or
configuring a wiki.
