That overstates things quite a bit. What's actually complete is:
--the Main Page and all pages it directly links to
--the FAQ and all pages that it directly links to
--the pages the Downloads page directly links to
Currently I'm working on porting all the pages linked to from the Developers page. I think that will cover the most important (visible and used) pages, but if there are any I've missed that should be ported ASAP, let me know. 

Note that besides fixing the markup, I've also been editing content. I've found quite a few things that were outdated, and I've run across pages that we should consider not porting at all. Many pages have not been maintained for years, and IMO shouldn't be ported without updating (e.g., most of the Status pages).

I need it to continue porting. It's easier than using the Wayback Machine.

A couple of things I am not going to touch:
--Home pages: Users will need to recreate their own home pages. 
--Translations: I'm not qualified.  Translators should keep in mind that I have been editing content as needed as I go along, so please check that when porting your translation. 
--http://oldwiki.winehq.org/Debunking_Wine_Myths: someone started revising this page several years ago and then gave up, leaving the page an absolute mess. I think it should be updated and ported, but right now my priority is on porting the documentation that developers and users actually need, so I'm not likely to get to it any time soon. If anyone wants to tackle that one, feel free.
