One possible solution that would allow launchpad to add a wiki is adding a wiki folder inside of your repository and let the bzr repository manage the sourcecode of that wiki. This would look like this:

1. wiki folder gets created right next to trunk
2. launchpad provides a simple interface, edit, preview, save where permissions will be judged based on your membership/access to repository.
3. Would be great if wiki in itself be a moinmoin then parsing would be done by a moinmoin engine no work on launchpad other then setting it up.
4. I would be able to either edit the wiki via a web or just edit the wiki files using moinmoin syntax from within the repository.

This allows for easy syntax (moinmoin), allows for sourcecode edits/access, controls the permissions via repository. The only thing that needs to be done is for launchpad to list the files in wiki folder, render them using moinmoin engine, and provide edit,preview,save options. All history/reverts will be done by a user from within his bzr repository.

Hope this helps.
Thanks,
