That's a potentially good initiative but I would be careful so that it
does not "degenerate" into another kind of todo or wishlist, like this:

From my point of view the main problem is that there is simply not
enough people doing stuff (with the main site). For example: I have
subscribed to a lot (dozens) of wiki pages with technical documentation
several weeks ago. To this day I have only got maybe one notification
that someone changed something on these pages.
Like I said before, there is plenty of "obvious" work to be done before
we need to resort to defining a grand vision of the future.
My complaint about lack of conclusion to this thread was more about the
fact that... well, more about an impression than a fact I guess since I
can't seem to name it... there does not seem to be much momentum yet for
doing stuff like WikiMedia. Looking at their approach really shows how
more mature (although not always right - all those formal processes,
ewww) they are.
