The easiest solution might be to take advantage of whitespace
indentation.  Thus your sample wiki code could read:

  !!!Process Slideshow
  # %outline% You should have only one slide show in the TAKA folder
    * we usually do only one a day
    * You can do 2 a day but must set the iFrame ID of the second one to "2"
  # Slideshow folder should be properly named; it usually is  by default.
    If it is not the CGI will break!
  # open slide show folder; sort by kind; open all *.txt files in BBEdit
    in one pass.
  # These are all the captions; they will not be in order, but it doesn't
    matter
  # Proof read and spell check each one carefully. This is the only time
    this is done.
  # Check the size of the photos.
    * Max width 360 and height 270 See [[Slideshows.FunctionalSpec]] for
      slide show specs and details
    *  if too big, then run on Droplet to resize for Slide show
    ** Caveat: Adobe terminated ImageReady! if you uninstalled CS2 then our
       droplets won't work... I have a photoshop CS3 droplet but it's "lame"
       because it will not drive thru defaults in some dialogs and you have to
       sit and click OK on on every image being processed in the batch...but it
       works.
  # In the GUI for the daily build, the action to set the path to the
    slide show will automatically generate today's folder and move the slide
    show into that folder, BUT you must manuallly upload to the server (see
    below)

See this example at http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/OutlineTest .

Beyond that, you can always manually restart the numbering by using 
%value=<nn>% on a list item.
