<h3>''Potential Idea :''</h3><br />
As a part of my gsoc project I was thinking of developing a cross platform mobile+web app (or atleast for android) for the wiki-maps( apart from replacing the web map-widget with the one made using leaflet).<br />
It would be built using javascript(and some phonegap libraries like cordova) and converted to phone app using phonegap. jquery mobile could be used to provide better UI for mobile devies.<br />
I'd already built an application (as a part of my sem project) which used osm and leaflet to render/show the map on the mobile device(it was an offline app made for routing and searching).<br />
It would be an online app with which the user would be able to view the map and the add the new push-pins to the map (with better UI ie user need not enter the coordinates of the location instead the location could be fetched using the inbuilt gps of the mobile) . I think I would be able to make such an app in the given time period because of my prior experience.<br />
<h3>''Potential Challenge :''</h3><br />
The only challenge would be sending and retrieving data from the wiki-server. For that I would require a little assistance from your side as I'm not familiar of how to the wiki-server works.
