Good ideas. But maybe we should start a bit smaller ;)
It might be a good idea to create a list of features separated in
several increments (releases) to get a running system early.

I could imagine increments like "Parsing/Converting", "Storage
backend/Revision control", "User management", ...

Unfortunately you probably have to throw away/heavily modify earlier
increments, if you add features like a flexible syntax, which will need
a different internal infrastructure.

But targeting such a "feature monster" will probably take too much
development time.

Maybe a "feature complete" version could be targeted as "the"
Perl6-Wiki-Software.
But before this one a "Lite Version", which will be used to have a wiki
quickly available, could be developed.
