Currently we are maintaining the data in svn:
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/blends/projects/med/trunk/debian-med/tasks
It is accesible to people who are member of the Debian Pure Blends project:
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/blends/
The threshold to become a member of this project is quite low, but I do
not think that "everybody can edit" like in a Wiki is a good idea.

For the moment I see only a chance o export all these data from Debian
to you in whatever format you like. I have no idea whether other
distros can commit similar data.

Well, for the moment - as long as we have no better solution, a mail to
the Debian Med list would be sufficient and I will move it to SVN.

Otherwise I once looked a bit into Ruby on Rails and this could be also a feasible approach to it, although this would mean a bit of work to create it form scratch ...
I have no really good idea. I'm creating the tasks pages by a python
script using genshi templates. If you have a look at
http://screenshots.debian.net/ it is created using Pylons - perhaps
you like this?
Kind regards
Andreas.
