Those who want to take MediaWiki beyond Wikipedia might get some inspiration from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiCalc
VisiCalc creator (in 1979) Dan Bricklin has combined his old idea with a wiki. Version 0.1 of wikiCalc is now in alpha testing.
That is more than just a little awesome. I had this idea myself, when I wondered at being able to treat tables like a spreadsheet with sortable columns.. I'm glad that Dan has started this project.
Of course, I'll be dismayed since it'll probably have its own syntax and won't be MediaWiki-compliant. ;)
