Talk:MediaWiki/Gallery of extensions

At mediawiki.org or outsourced?
Must this gallery be in mediawiki.org or is there an option for a service maintained elsewhere? It's a question that needs to be answwered, especially if we would like to put e.g. payments/donations in the mix.--Qgil (talk) 00:05, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Pull in WikiApiary?
I would love to volunteer WikiApiary to help with this effort. We already have an index of 3,876 extensions on 8,373 websites. I've got a program that will do "basket analysis" of extensions to determined most commonly installed next to each other. I’m now pulling in license information and allow connecting to Composer packages. Extensions already can be tagged. I would love to be able to vote on them, but there is no great voting extension for MediaWiki that fits this use case.

I'd be happy to host bots that analyze this data, store cumulative information and then feed it via bot into MediaWiki.org.

All of this data is already completely exposed via the Semantic MediaWiki Ask API.
