Aiming for the ease of use of wiki syntax but allowing you to embed PHP in your wiki pages to do dynamic stuff. I don't know how big a demographic that satisfies. You could ask Ning.com how they are going with popularity. They seem to be going for a similar market segment of dabbler programmers who want to get a lot done easily mixed with stronger programmers who are willing to give up complete control in exchange for canned functionality. ... but given how many programmers are complete control freaks, I am never sure how big a niche that is.
