Yep, that sounds good to me. One thing to maybe keep in mind would be to let
the wiki admin decide whether any user can invite another or whether the
invitation right should be restricted to admins / editors.

There are 2 basic use cases I can see:

   - An "invite" panel that basically lets any wiki user invite someone else
   to the wiki
   - An "invite" section in the administration that lets an admin invite a
   lot of people at once (in an organization for instance)

Both use cases (single invite and mailing-list invite) were covered by the
invitation manager plugin so it might be worth a look.

Guillaule
