 * The most pressing issue seems to be a standard that can be published and supported by other wikis, like MoinMoinWiki and tikiwiki, which are very popular, and more extensible than MediaWiki. Text import/export has to be one of our priorities, given the objectives of this project to become a central GNU FDL repository of trusted text for use all over the place.

The syntax

 * Wikipedia lexer
 * Wikipedia Text Syntax (at LDC's wiki)


 * Markup extensions
 * Music markup -- inline music notation? (proposed)
 * Wikipediatlas -- inline map generation (proposed) - with spacetime DTD
 * Geospatial references
 * Wikitax -- a radically altered wiki markup (proposed) - with ideology (unlikely to be implemented...)
 * Wiki markup language -- more suggestions
 * Image pages - better way to caption & position them. also applied to tables
 * Header markup
 * Intermediate solution for interlanguage links
 * underlying Wikipedia DTD

Parsing it
Future plans:


 * Wikipedia lexer
 * Wikitext standard
