Thank you very much for your feedback Jeblad. I will immediately look into how this can be best implemented by extending the Mediawiki API. Do kindly let me know about my other ideas so that I can shape my proposal well.
The mentor for ideas I am interested in is Oren Bochman. But I couldn't track him on the irc. I would love to interact with him or any other mentor and discuss my ideas in detail.
