Informal Features List

1. Provide a common area to configure API keys
2. Provide a paragraph to display a Google Map, should accept parameters, look into configuration options
3. Social Media Integration:
   1. Work with Magnolia STK team to get an idea about what integrations will be available in STK 1.4, trying to avoid duplicate effort, and unify approach.
   2. Look into providing a way to manage content of Facebook tabs and applications (i.e. FBML) - may wait on this one until Facebook API/FBML settles down a bit.
   3. Social Publication API - @see Social publishing
   4. Flickr Integration
   5. Twitter read and tweet
   6. Facebook like, share, and comment
4. Improve and expand use of Microformats, in particular provide X2V type features for hCards, hCalendars, etc.
5. Provide a Job Posting template, maybe with optional SmashFly integration
6. Provide a User Profile page, should use hResume similar to LinkedIn Profile
7. Look into Lucene, and how to disallow certain content from being displayed in search results based on template or paragraph properties (i.e. perhaps a searchable property that takes a boolean value
8. Provide a Poll paragraph - make it more in line with the STK approach than what's provided by the Magnolia Poll module
9. Provide more content paragraphs (tabbed content, timeline, callouts, etc)
10. Provide HTML5 audio and video paragraphs - both must have Flash (Flowplayer?) fallbacks for browsers that don't yet support audio and video elements. Look at j-media-element.
11. Provide HTML5 form paragraphs
12. Work in some RDFa stuff where it makes sense
