RDF-backed photo galleries - Gallery2 developers were very impressed by the idea of RDF, if a module was developed for that, you might have something <em>similar</em> - and deployed by default. RDF recipes - coming soon to a fridge near you.

The idea would be to produce RDF summaries, similar to RSS, for things like recently opened files, recently started applications, most started applications, recently downloaded files, recently played audio files and so on. A background process would gather data, perhaps using DBUS events, process it and make summaries available for other applications to use. These summaries would periodically be written to disk in a "standard location", somewhere below the home directory. These files could then be used as source for another application - an individual web application perhaps - that aggregates the most userful information from the outside world with the most useful information about the user's data. For example, the most recent emails are shown next to the user's most often used applications, next to recent news headlines from a site of the user's choosing.

One big one is a decent RDF-backed CMS, along the lines of those at <a href="http://www.opensourcecms.com/">opensourcecms</a>. Doc management built around DC/RSS/PRISM, user management based on FOAF. But must support arbitrary RDF vocabs, maybe with pluggable GUI bits. Set it up to be configurable blog/Wiki /aggregator/whatever. A quick way to start/experiment might be to pick an existing CMS and replace its RDBMS backend with Redland. Oo, got loads of possibilities, most buried under piles of to-dos.

Sort of an attempt to make adding metadata easier for document authors (inspired by the infamous "Metacrap" article).

I may be working on an RDF-based recipes project sometime soon, because there's been virtually no work done in that area (AFAICT) and it scratches an itch for me. I would like to see:
* LocalNames+RDF integration
* BBDB+FOAF integration
* RDF-backed photo galleries
* RDF recipes
* An implementation of jwz’s Intertwingle concept in RDF
* Wiktionary that doesn’t suck, using RDF
