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,

Well, just because it would be insecure the way the Wikimedia sites are configured doesn't mean it isn't useful for others. Any site that is either 100% http or 100% https could use this.

The security issues I was referring to (And Dantman kinda pointed were slightly non issues) was any JS can be run on those pages (so people could do things to the login forms) where as on the separate login page, We are a lot more restrictive about what JS can be run thus slightly mitigating that risk.
