Hi Inderpreet,
Welcome and thanks for reaching out, there is definitely the need of a 3d viewer for mediawiki and brl-cad could add some of the needed features. Probably you could contact Bryan Davis, since he offered himself as GsoC mentor for such a project: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#New_med...
I'm also CC'ing Fabrice Florin, product manager of the multimedia team, because I guess that the 3d viewer could be somehow related to the Multimedia Viewer. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multimedia/About_Media_Viewer
I hope it helps. Cheers, Micru

Hi, I am Inderpreet Singh, this is my first mail and I hope I am on correct mailing list. I am currently working on an online geometry viewer that was developed under BRL-CAD (brlcad.org) as one of it's GSOC projects last summer. It's in it's very basic stage. It currently allows you to upload a CAD model (.g file) and view it 3D in the browser. I was planning to add a feature that would allow users to embed their models on websites and share it, (think of it as http://codepen.io/ for CAD). Also, we were planning to add a mged command interface so that we can edit the CAD model online using mged commands. We were having discussions over these when someone among us pointed out that there is a need of similar extension for mediawiki. I would really love to know more about the requirements and propose BRL-CAD (one of the oldest open source repositories in world) on a server with web-interface as a full open source candidate for the required tool.
