Hi,

I am Nikunj Gupta https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Mecyborgfrom The LNM Institute of Information Technology, India and I am interested in working for the project "catalogue for mediawiki extensions"as a GSoC 2014 candidate and I have drafted a proposal for the project.

There are currently about 2000 extensions available on MediaWiki.orghttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_Matrix. However, it is hard to identify and assess which extension fits a particular need. Moreover, it is not clear which version of the extension to take for a particular MediaWiki version. And we need to find the most popular or most frequently downloaded extensions, we have to go to a third party site like WikiApiary https://wikiapiary.com which currently handles the extensions database.

There is a lot of scope for improvement and creative ideas. The current plan is to implement a rating system on WikiApiary http://wikiapiary.organd syndicate the data to MediaWiki.org.

*Please provide feedback and suggestions to my proposal. Thanks.*
