There already is Worg for wiki and pdf generation is already a core
function of org-mode.
Not sure if i'm missing something here or not.

Sebastien,
I don't think any of this is crazy.
The first idea is similar to the HTML composition GUIs which now
seem to be everywhere. I'm told it's a pretty complex task to get
them to reliably be both WYSISYG and to maintain syntactically
correct markup through multiple edits, but people are attempting
it---with some success for HTML and BBcode.
Could org-syntax be used in a Wiki? I suppose so with some elisp or
scripting infrasturcture. In fact, such an idea is has potential to
help with other problems as well, such as making simple changes to
your server-stored org-documents when at a non-emacs machine or a
simple web-enabled device like a smartphone. I imagine that the
overhead of processing org-markup to html via Emacs is high-ish in
comparision with traditonal ways of generating html from other
markup languages. But with static pages and mostly internal use,
that should be no issue.
Look at this link for an example of online PDF generation. In this
case it's from another lightweight markup language called
ReStructured Text, and uses pdflatex on a server to automatically
generate pdf's.

If they can do it.....
