I've been lurking on this list for a while now, waiting for the time to actually work on the Mediawiki code. Therefore, I was very interested in the proposed summer of code project "Wikitext parser rewrite"(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2006#Wikitext_parser_rewrite)
That's probably not an appropriate project, as it would be dependent on the syntax being formally defined first (a separate project, which will require being done with community input and careful consideration of compatibility).
