One of the best parts of an open data collaboration like OSM is that "dreamy goals" are sometimes (even often?) posited, then pretty darn good results come from people picking and choosing from a large menu what interests them,   hat works for them, what is relevant to them (and their knowledge and the data and the structure into which all of this is poured).  It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing, in fact, it shouldn't be:  the "one brick at a time" approach is largely how our map has been built so far.

If the wiki is too dreamy to use as a wiki now, I might suggest it (or whatever consensus-based documentation of "how we do this" IS being used) be whacked down to where it IS realistic.  One benefit from doing so is that low-hanging fruit, on a short menu, looks that much easier to achieve towards completion, and therefore might even make great results MORE likely to be achieved.
