This sounds amazing! http://forwardfound.org is working with http://appropedia.org and http://p2pfoundation.org on some perhaps related media wiki interoperability (some of it based on http://flows.panarchy.com spec) I will pop back into this thread and detail when I have more time. But, just wanted to comment that this looks fantastic.
