Assuming, an updated website is deemed worth the time and effort (I'm  
not convinced it is, but it couldn't hurt)...

I agree that wordpress might be a good choice for the basic website.   
We are using it for the website of our own open-source project, using  
an 'off the shelf' theme with some minor modifications:

We are just linking out to the mediawiki wiki rather than making any  
attempt to incorporate it into wordpress.
