Project ideas

 * Improve and extend the Javascript for Semantic MediaWiki and some of its spinoff extensions, most notably Semantic Forms - this would include transferring over much of the Javascript to use the jQuery library, which is now becoming a MediaWiki standard. - Yaron Koren


 * Add GIS features to Maps and Semantic Maps. This would include adding support for KML, getting mapping data from external sources and adding the ability to filter through the data locally. If this appears to be a to small amount of work, a lot of other mapping related features like route support and streetview capabilities for Google Maps can be added. - Jeroen De Dauw


 * Editor interface, based on templates, that allows for append, prepend, or a complete takeover of the editing box. Would display as a block of fields that border or cover the editing box.  Would recall fields after first creation.  Would work with both the wikitext editor and the WYSIWYG editor.  Could find use in multiple projects such as Wiktionary and Wikieducator.org.


 * Watchlist improvements
 * option to see diffs
 * multiple lists
 * automatic subpage watching see: Extension requests
