WikiApiary enhancements

Objective
WikiApiary has served as the one stop place for users looking for extensions for their wiki. To make this process more intuitive and blissful, WikiApiary can be enhanced to accommodate more information about extensions in a structured manner and integrate some form of user feedback system. Along with this, to consolidate the semantic relation between wikiapiary and mediawiki, this extended information gained on wikiapiary can be syndicated back to mediawiki.

Rating System
The aim of this feature is to provide a rating system to wikiapiary. Using this, the users will be able to rate extension individually. The overall rating of an extension shall be calculated based on multiple metrics such as user rating, count of wiki's using the extension, legacy code, etc.
 * Aim

There are some options available in form of extensions to add rating system to wiki. These extensions would have to be customized and integrated with wikiapiary. The current options available for scrutiny are:
 * Proposed Methodology

Extension:SemanticRating Extension:Ratings

 * Aim

This can be done by mining information regarding extensions by using correlations or association mining algorithms like apriori.
 * Proposed Methodology

Data syndication
This feature aims to feed back information gained on wikiapriary about extensions to mediawiki such as ratings, reviews and uses.
