There are several ideas that are floating for projects that could have a high impact on the Baha'i community.  Some of the ideas are listed below.

 

 

The idea is to create a web database of Baha'i Quotations to serve as a central location on the Internet of quotations from the Baha'i Writings. Once a database is created, we are thinking to harness collective intelligence to allow users to tag quotations on subjects, events, source, references (flicker style) so that they later a user can query for quotations on a particular topic. 

 

Once a tagged database of quotations exists, it should be fairly easy create services that leverage the tagged quotes to create Develotional Program Generators, Daily RSS feeds and serve as a platform for other sites seeking quotations.

 

 

Every community has issues with scheduling events and getting people to them.  We would like to create a central worldwide database of Baha'i events that are taking place to increase the transparency of events and serve as a central location that any Baha'i in the world can find out what events they can attend in a particular community. 

 

The frontend for the database would be both a web 2.0 calendar and map that can be filtered according to your location and type of event.  The frontend for inserting/removing/managing items in the database would be a website which might have tie ins to social networking sites.

 

 

The idea of this project is create an application on Facebook to assist with the coordination of Ruhi classes.  As every Ruhi coordinator knows, it can be a chalenge to recruit people to attend a particular course, arrange for where a course will be held and maintain statistics.  This application would seek to assist with this. 

 

There currently exists an alpha on Facebook of this idea, it was developed by Kevin Trotter.

 

 

The idea of this application is to use games to make it easier to memorize Baha'i quotations.  http://www.imemorize.org/ is experimenting with this idea.
