As much as I think that such a cooperative would be a good idea, it sounds to me like you're a long distance from being able to bring the vision to reality. With a few months of work and a good professional network you might be able to pull this off. But you're coming across to me as someone who's completely new to running a business, and I would find it very difficult to trust my company's money to someone in your position. That's not to say that your intentions are bad, it's just that I don't think that this is the business for you to be running here and now. You might very well *work* for such a business and be very good in your role, and maybe after a couple of years you will indeed end up in the lead role. I admire your ambition, and perhaps you have skills and professional contacts that I don't know about, but from what I've learned so far, I wouldn't encourage enterprise MediaWiki users to join your organization at this time, and I think that you would do better with a different goal, at least in the short term.
I hope that I don't come across as being negative about your ambition. Some of your instincts are good, and perhaps in a few years you will indeed be in a good position to lead an organization like the one you have in mind.
