Longer-term aspirations:
Fix navigation in Gateway to Ithilien skin;Fix glitch where the user creation log inserts two records for each new member.Migrate from mod_rewrite to alias and fix & problem (Ex: Allen & Unwin)Integrate java clients into the wiki(Currently not working)Fix fault in Ithilien skin whereby images have a margin at the bottom.- Add an extension which allows embedding of video/audio (not yet released unfortunately)
- Create an extension to embed video. (Trying to dynamically convert avi/mov/wmv/etc to .flv and output as .swf is a pain)
- Fix MediaWiki:Popups.js.
- Install Winter extension and configure journals to display previous/next issues dynamically
- Code a better style to hide the generic wiki format
- Create a bot which goes through any Tolkien-related site and saves a cached version, similar to archive.org. This way Tolkien content can be preserved.
- Create a PHP script which scrapes forums, newsgroups, wikis, news sites, and various other places that are related to Tolkien so essentially a Tolkien fan can view anything in the Tolkien community that is being updated.
