That depends on the amount of developers helping with it.
Currently some more developers are helping within Google Summer of Code,
but that is soon over and we'll have to see how it is afterwards.

There is still lots to do with refactoring code to make good use of the
framework and libraries we use now. Also user interface needs much more
work.

So, don't hold your breath for it. It likely won't happen this year,
maybe next year.

Well, doing such stuff needs time and as you might have seen there are
not that many people involved in moin development currently (and likely
none of them has experience or time to deal with bureaucracy related to
what you suggest).
