Misc projects

Hover notes thingy like Flickr (extension) - This would allow one to add notes to images without actually altering the original file.
Seamless layout that allows one to go from wiki to blog without too much graphic difference. Try not to make it look like the users are leaving OWW when reading a blog. (Ex: http://wiki.shift.pt/doku.php )

This is a list of steps that I consider essential to make OWW better organized and easier to use.

A new set of tutorials for new/recent users. These tutorials should be step-based and when possible accompanied by screencasts (videos).
Forms to kick-start pages. These forms can be implemented on a page-type basis. If creating a protocol page, the form would show fields for material, methods, notes, etc. These forms would only appear on first edit.
Setup a page (community page, activity page, features page) that will concentrate featured and active pages on the wiki. This page depends on the creation of new functions/extensions that allow to create and follow such activity.
- Vote page up/down (à lá Digg)
- Edit count top 10 (activity != of interest --> logs, order pages, etc)
- Lab Notebook Milestone marker (feature a project's status)
- Latest users & Map with location (this is easier if country and city are made compulsory on sign up)
Focus on outreach by creating some plugins/widgets for blogs and other sites to display related OWW pages (ie Google Adsense). Also get a page together with all the buttons and banners available with code for easy insertion in html.
