I'll admit - I'm intrigued by the notion of carbon footprint reduction via software enhancements.. :)
I appreciate that you've concisely provided background on the what and how. I'm curious if you can expand a tad more on the why. To many the notion of energy conservation is very familiar - but in all fairness - I've suggested to others that they not assume everyone will know as much as they do - so a bit more info there wouldn't hurt.
You've been in IRC actively - so you're aware of that resource.
Same comment to SMW folks as Flickr folks - contemplate each other's proposals and be mindful of any overlap and the stated criteria like quality of apps, etc. Might not be a bad idea to see what others are proposing. :)

Hi,
I am participating in GSOC'12 with my proposal for Green SMW [1]. This proposal is about reducing the carbon footprint of SMW , in other words it will enhance the performance of SMW significantly. All the details are on [1], suggestions to improve or comments are most welcome.
I have also been contributing to MW with my new Extension:AllTimeZones [2], comments to that are welcomed as well. My other contributions to MW are listed here [3].
