This sounds like it could be very useful, particularly if it has some features that will make it easier to use than the current (hand-made) system. I also guess that some more of us (including myself) should look more carefully at what format the year and date pages are following. I don't know how many of those pages we've made, but it must be a lot by now...

Puts navigation elements on Year in Review pages automatically -- e.g. automatically links to next five and previous five years. Allow you to add someone's date of birth to a year page (e.g. [[1992]]), and it automatically appears on the anniversary of their birth as well (e.g. [[January 15]]).
Unfortunately I know see it doesn't really work on Sourceforge, although it worked fine at home (they have newer software than I do). I was probably a little too premature announcing it here. Oh well...
