I've stubbed out a couple sections on:

More specific things to follow based on the notes previously posted.
Added a stub 'get involved' section on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Future#Core_projects and the other pages; there'll be more exciting stuff to see within a couple weeks as Trevor & Neil select testing tools & we all get started on prelim grammar descriptions.
We can pretty well expect to discard these initial grammar steps that we're doing as we get farther along, but we're going to need something to work with for now. :)
Collecting parser test cases & helping to document the existing parse tree formats in use by some other parser variants will be very useful while we're getting those together -- please feel free to add some notes to the AST & test case pages (linked to from the above) or post notes directly on wikitext-l.

If you have found bugs in MediaWiki that should be Parser Test Cases[0] for the new parser, you can tag them with the "newparser" keyword in Bugzilla.
Also, the raw notes from our Berlin sessions are now on mediawiki.org.[1,2]
