I'm doing something similar (editing an offline wiki and presenting a
read-only wiki to the public).  I merely copy the data/pages dir (if
you have media files you could copy that dir, too) from the "staging"
wiki to the appropriate place on the "published" wiki.

It is a good idea to purge/reindex after doing this, which shouldn't
be too bad of a performance hit while it's updating if you only update
the published site once in a while.

Once we "go live" with the published site, I will only be updating it
to correct pages and add a new bit of content now and then.  I don't
know how static your site is, YMMV.
