I've looked in to this a little but still in quite a pie in the sky way, I made the sqlite db layer with the idea of it being simpler to incorporate into a client based "mediawikilite" app, I made some notes at these articles: http://www.organicdesign.co.nz/MediaWikiLite http://www.organicdesign.co.nz/PeerPedia A lite mediawiki could then work as a peer and sqlite integrate with a distributed storage system such as a DHT or with Git. Perhaps interwiki could be used as an addressing scheme to separate different wikis within the common distributed storage space?
