Extensions that need love

The following is a list of extensions that should be looked at by a developer. They might be using outdated interfaces, have ugly code, or just need some attention. Talk to johnduhart on IRC for ideas and suggestions on what to improve.

If you plan to tackle cleanup for an extension, be sure to note that on the list.
