User:Dantman/Code Ideas

Just a random spot for code ideas I feel like working on and may or may not get around to:
 * Write a TorBlock like extension for http://stopforumspam.com/
 * Keep in mind dnsbl.tornevall.org should also be used to lessen load.
 * Consider implementing an alternate form of dnsbl which like TorBlock can be enabled, only block people selectively, and can also be enabled initially with blocking features disabled so you can look at rc tags to understand what set of edits will actually be blocked before enabling full block.
 * Help improve Extension:MediaWikiAuth.
 * Try adding a degree of mobile support to MediaWiki. ie: Try to get as much of the Wikimedia mobile stuff working in core, without requiring a full extra ruby server.
 * Add iPad support to monaco-port (issue: requires a donated iPad).
 * Write a querying framework for MediaWiki?
 * A lot of our core and extension code writes a lot of ugly sql queries and table joins, which are dependent on table structure. Which of course gets in the way of any large changes to the db because piles of simple extensions now depend heavily on the database structure.
