Hello Gaurav! You are not late, you are just in time. It is good to see all the good work you have done so far.

This is an interesting idea but I'm unable to assess its feasibility, neither its potential reception by the community, or whether similar projects exist or have been attempted in the past. It would bring a very visible new feature, a new user interaction and a new editing process. This might be too much to digest for e.g. the Wikipedia community but maybe your idea is seen interesting as a MediaWiki prototype, and who knows what would come out of this.

The steps I recommend you are:


 * 1) File an enhancement request in Bugzilla under MediaWiki Extensions - Entension requests proposing your project, introducing it briefly and linking to the URL with the full description. You can add me on CC and I will help you gathering a first wave of feedback. If this is not enough then you might want to post the idea to wikitech-l mailing list, linking to the URL of the project and requesting more feedback in your report in Bugzilla. Or you might want to do this directly, after creating your report.

I'm sure that a couple of days later you will ave enough feedback to decide what to do next. Good luck! And thank you for your interest contributing to Wikimedia.
