It's been a few weeks now since I've been baking some extensions to make Mediawiki (Wikipedia's wiki engine) more "web2.0 compliant". These extensions are unofficial and, as far as I know, they were only implemented at my research group's wiki (http://www.mohid.com/wiki log:wikiguest pass:wikiguest). Since I know that these extensions might be useful for someone else, I blog them here hoping they get enough public exposure...
Here's the list of the extensions along with a live example. All examples require the same login and password given above:
-Google custom search engine. I found a hack to make it work in mediawiki ;)

-Mp3 list's player in xspf format,

-Rss feed aggregator (that one's not really mine),
http://www.mohid.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rss
-YouTube videos player.

I hope I can soon turn them official at MediaWiki's site, but I still need to find time in order to document them properly. And If I don't find the time, then probably somebody else will. In the meantime, If you really want them, you can contact me.
