Yes it is really a good idea but it seems much like the editing
feature. You can elaborate more if you want, but currently our focus
is on just viewer part, we could think about editing later. But that
doesn't mean we simply discard it, in fact we need such ideas to
incorporate into OGV, if not now probably in future.

Yes it is a different project having the basic concept same as that of
OGV i.e. visualizing geometry on browser. Currently Mediawiki is
providing support to upload pictures, audio and video files making
them available for use by anyone. Now they want to extend their
support by representing 3D computer graphics on browser. This way,
every Mediawiki based website with the help of this plugin/extension
would be able to display geometry.

This project have to be designed as a module to Mediawiki or some CMS.
The user would upload a geometry file (e.g., a .g file) as content
into the system (like uploading a file into Mediawiki), and then
reference that file (e.g., [Geometry:file.g]), causing our plugin to
read the g file, parse the data into a visualization context. The
basic requirements for this plugin/extension have already been stated
in the link referred by you earlier:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2014-January/073915.html

While OGV is aimed to become full fledged online geometry service
where users would be able to investigate / convert geometry, store,
manage and share their CAD files.
