@svetlana, I thought http is rather being strengthened via REST? The Internet of things all will better work with HTTP.
From your list of items, @pine, I will recommend, smart watches, AI, and
smart homes and buildings.
But why would Wikimedia wanna include the yet-to-well-surface technologies when mere edit conflicts isn't solved on the Wiki?
The Wikipedia app is currently under good development and I think its doing great.
Your question is worth considering, but in reality, I don't think Wikimedia will be up to the task, even if one from your list is chosen.
Just pondering over how many months, if not years its taken to get the Wikipedia app in shape, not to mention the Wikimedia commons app that's seems to have been abandoned as it hardly enjoys updates, makes me wonder if Wikimedia will ever finish a native application should they wanna even try AI.
For me, if I should suggest what should be Wikimedia's biggest priority today will be to revamp the MediaWiki system from ground up.
