Most of this is possible by adding logic on the PHP
level, but certainly would be easier is Midgard had
support for the major features builtin.
For example, our Midgard sites at Stonesoft include
features like chat and even workflow applications like
the company's recruitment system. They work, but creating
them has at times required creative usage of the
database fields provided in Midgard's article system.

Your proposal is very interesting, and I'm sure some
Midgard developers would be eager to help you out.
However, our project works on volunteer basis and so
we as a project can't make any commitments on our
developers' behalf. It is all up to individual
developers here.
I hope to see something come out of this. Midgard has
been a very nice low-end content management system,
but I'm sure it is to the interests of many people
working with it to see it improve in the field.
Please keep us posted on how things turn out.
