Project ideas
Also have a look at the ideas of 2011 and past projects.


 * Search should index transcluded text — This is sorely wanted for Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikisource and the like that depend heaviliy on template expansion.
 * Fix Extension:LilyPond's security problems so that it can be deployed on WMF sites. (This one requires some people skills, see the discussion here, for example.)
 * Create a way to have “books” for wikisource/wikibooks — This would mean you could “watch” books (sets of pages, watch a category) instead of just single pages. Might be able to do by extending the Extension:Collection or improving Extension:BookManager.
 * Upload to Commons plugins for common photo management apps (iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Shotwell, F-spot, etc.) similar to existing plugins that allow synchronization with sites like flickr, facebook.
