I've had a dream since I was in comms about creating an extension that would not only let us accept tweet suggestions but also let us give a user right out for people (community members and staff) to tweet through the wiki in a logged fashion without having to know the password.
This isn't a crazy difficult extension (as in I could write it) but always required either A. Me to have time, B. Tech resources or C. Someone else to get excited and do it. A suffers from the traditional "sometime between '48 hours of non stop work' starting tonight and 'eventually when I find the time....' Timeline that my side projects have given work requirements/other priorities, B has always been tough and C .. Honestly I don't think we pushed it enough to fully test C out.
