And you have a static site that can hardly be hacked. The only thing to
take care of are binary files which tend to bloat the Git repo. So it
makes sense to think about it before start
and choose something like Git LFS for that.

As the wiki works well as it is why not present it in a subdomain (for
instance wiki.gambas-basic.org)? If you use a subdomain you even can
host it on a different server or a different user on the same machine
which makes everything more secure. If you're concerned about consistent
design this can be handled by a common header and footer. I think above
all the wiki needs a (fast) search engine.

IFrames are disliked for a long time now, because of privacy reasons, as
they were abused mainly by Facebook to track users.

If you want to integrate content from another website you have to take
care of the 'duplicated content' SEO problem, which can be very
annoying. Better is to let it be or if the content has to be moved to
another place be sure to redirect users and search bots for every single
page to the new place. Otherwise you will lose the search engine ranking
that you have previously worked hard to achieve.

Alles Gute
