Hello, Pieter.
Agree, we should think (brainstorm) about distributed
servers, but this is a very difficult topic (for me at
least).
Yeah, I think so too. But while the wikipedia grows as
encyclopedia, that its system remains same is a problem
surely.
I've got more weird ideas: I'll make the
source-code of my
pure-C-
wikisoftware available via its' WikiWebInterface
ITSELF!
This way,
I'll never loose my sources! (the recursive trick).
I don't think this is weird, but nothing but wonderful! Such
a idea has already been proposed in wiki community. You may
want to check this out.

I believe it would work. At first, Wikipedia seems not to
work, but actually it does, we know that. I am always
dreaming of why don't we use wiki for everything?
Best wishes,
