If you are interested in an inordinate amount of work that probably won't result in much, count me in! So long as you are game, and willing to stick with it, then I am. I find it is easier to tackle a large problem with more than one person...

I'm actually still not sure entirely what I'm envisioning. It could be a complete replacement for HTML (there are lots), or something a little more specialized, like a replacement for MediaWiki (which would be no small project...). I'm thinking the MediaWiki replacement would be a better place to start, since it's a specialized application.

We'd need:


 * A markup language, which is really what I'm after. Something that makes sense
 * Front-end Infrastructure, which entails all the webpages and things to support our markup language
 * Backend scripting for working with databases and such, in order to actually make this thing work...

Finally, we need a sane language to write the whole thing in that isn't a complete mess. I don't particularly like php, which is the obvious choice. I may do some research. If at all possible, I'd like to use D as much as possible, because it is simply a very nice language.
