Hi All, I replied back on most of the points, mentioning the prudence of each idea.
Could I get some assessment on a couple of things:- 1. Are these ideas & features needed or useful? 2. I reckon, except for jQuery with AJAX (which I will clarify on IRC), Voice Search & HTML5, the other points have been remarked upon. It would be very kind if I could know that a bunch of these projects can be done as part of a single Project. 3. Kindly also let me know if there is any scope of introduction of HTML5 in Wiki. Or if something of the same sort has been done in the past; maybe which can be improved upon; or something entirely new can be implemented. With Regards, On 15 February 2012 03:42, K.
