FWIW, I'd discourage this being taken on as a SoC project this summer, since it's a complicated problem that needs significant up-front discussion with a variety of people before any code should be written.
I would love to see a first-cut API get developed, to take the place of Pywikipedia. I think that waiting until the "correct" API has been determined is inappropriate. Get something usable, robust, and reasonably speedy in place; then look for ways to refine and/or replace it over time.
