Wrh2 added a comment. I'm a bit concerned as to whether there are sufficient requirements to ensure that someone who isn't already familiar with Wikivoyage will be able to implement a solution that is actually going to be used on Wikivoyage. Currently page banners work just fine on the full site, although they are definitely a hack. Is the goal of the extension solely to return a banner image sized appropriately for the user's browser on page load? Will the extension also implement the current Javascript functionality that resizes the banner when the user resizes the browser window? Will the extension implement the table of contents overlay, or the icon overlays (see https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Template:Pagebanner)? Is this proposal solely meant for use on mobile, and something that won't be used for the full site? Or is it part of the GSOC project to figure out how to answer these questions and implement an extension that offers all of the functionality of the current template?
I'm fully in support of making current page banners less of a hack, and making them useful on mobile clients, but after several months of discussion I'm unfortunately still not clear on what exactly is supposed to change once this proposal has been implemented. Part of that may be my lack of knowledge of Mediawiki extensions, and if others are very clear on the path forward then please ignore me and move on, but as someone who does software development for a living, I don't think that the discussion above would provide sufficient information for me to begin development.
