Hi Inderpreet,
Welcome and thanks for reaching out, there is definitely the need of a 3d
viewer for mediawiki and brl-cad could add some of the needed features.
Probably you could contact Bryan Davis, since he offered himself as GsoC
mentor for such a project:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#New_me…
I'm also CC'ing Fabrice Florin, product manager of the multimedia team,
because I guess that the 3d viewer could be somehow related to the
Multimedia Viewer.

I hope it helps. Cheers,
Micru

Hi, I am Inderpreet Singh, this is my first mail and I
hope I am on
correct mailing list. I am currently working on an online geometry
viewer that was developed under BRL-CAD (
brlcad.org) as one of it's
GSOC projects last summer. It's in it's very basic stage. It currently
allows you to upload a CAD model (.g file) and view it 3D in the
browser. I was planning to add a feature that would allow users to
embed their models on websites and share it, (think of it as
http://codepen.io/ for CAD). Also, we were planning to add a mged
command interface so that we can edit the CAD model online using mged
commands. We were having discussions over these when someone among us
pointed out that there is a need of similar extension for mediawiki. I
would really love to know more about the requirements and propose
BRL-CAD (one of the oldest open
source repositories in world) on a server with web-interface as a full
open source candidate for the required tool.
