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?
