I haven't been following closely but someone brought up in the #wikimedia-tech channel the idea of a real-time map of recent changes edits for display at MakerFaire.
I supose people know about one such map already:

Have people been in touch with the developer? Do we want something like this? Have people already settled on other eye candy?

Actually we talked about having this very exact thing for Maker Faire at the last meetup. That map updates fairly slow, and doesn't leave any of the old updates. But yes, we would really love to see something like this at Maker Faire.

Laszlo Kozma has agreed to open source WikipediaVision as part of a larger Google Summer of Code student proposal he submitted at my request. I see now that the other work Laszlo has proposed is at http://www.lkozma.net/idea23.html and http://www.lkozma.net/idea44.html and I hope he incorporates those into his proposals, because it's not clear presently whether he was intending to include them I believe the plan for WikipediaVision is to enhance it with up to 500-1000 characters of the introduction, and a shorter context around the first instances of the red-character portion of the diff from both diff columns. I don't remember whether Lazslo's plan includes image thumbnails either but they are mentioned in the corresponding bug in bugzilla.
Reminder: still need beach ball and/or volleyball for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco_13 -- who has one?
