This is certainly a "project," but it could be used for every POTY

perhaps some other contests, and it doesn't have to be elaborate.
However,
as I said, it would be really great if we could get just a couple people who have some experience developing MediaWiki extensions to help program this in time for this year's contest.
If anyone is interested in helping out or would like some more
information,
please contact me as soon as possible - anything helps!
Thanks, User:Mono
That's a good idea. It is also suitable for new developers getting practise. I can help with this. The most complex bit would be the possible user requirements. Other preferences need to be specified, but its implementation should be straightforward.
I think the next step would be gaining feedback and collecting what the extension should do at some page, such as https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImagePoll
Do you need users to be able to vote for any picture on commons, or just select from a shortlist gallery? SecurePoll already allows you to use full wikimarkup in question/option descriptions; you could just put image tags in each option and quite easily build a gallery that way.
