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.
