While I agree that a Wiki will provide the best option for the pages in 
the long term, they still require quite some time to set up everything 
correctly especially with some plain-html mirror sites.

If you want to make a quick start I would suggest you put your pages 
into a cvs server, with a closed user base where people can make 
changes. Then you can add a little cron job on your web servers which 
checkout the cvs regularily. If there's nothing to update, that should 
not consume too much traffic (and I think an update every few hours 
should suffice).

If you don't have any CVS running yet, I could/would donate an cvs 
server which is located in Germany and decently connected (but as the 
cvs server must not be the web server, that should be no real bottleneck).
