Todo: make semantic data approachable for newbies and editable in an easy-to-understand way. We're not 'the encyclopedia anyone can edit' if our article source text is a specialised language that can't be learned just by looking at a couple of examples.

I agree entirely. Hopefully this is a problem that the guys developing Semantic MediaWiki (or some other MediaWiki extension) will address. I certainly don't think it is an insurmountable problem. Just off the top of my head: two edit views, one displays simple wikisyntax for everyday editing and the other displays semantic-rich syntax.
