I should work with a little trick. Try something like this in the
.htaccess file (in the top-level webserver directory):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d 
  RewriteRule ^.* - [L]
  RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

It will only redirect URLs which are neither a real file, real
directory, or a symlink (so the non-wiki content should still be
accessible).

You also have to change $wgArticlePath to read
  $wgArticlePath      = "$wgScriptPath/$1";
in LocalSettings.php.

But putting all files in the wiki is a good idea anyway,
so yes, I volunteer :)

That's probably not necessary in this case, as all the links are
listed on the main page already.

No, but that would probably be overkill anyway. The news section hasn't
been really updated too often in the past...
