I'm thinking of something much simpler and easier to use with a simple scripting capability than Source Movie Maker. Something like a toy really. Since Marvel and DC own their respective IPs, we can't post entire stories to the wiki, but I think what Marvel and DC might be ok with, if there were software enhancements made to mediawiki, fans could create simple dioramas of the plots with character meshes uploaded by fans. So the underlying source material would be the comic page, which would be masked from the viewer, and the scripts would be applied to characters within the image template to produce the actions of the character meshes which the wiki viewer sees in the little presentation window. If Wikia does not have the finances to pay coders to create such enhancements to mediawiki, do you think Wikia might be open to initializing Kickstarter projects to raise funds to add various types of functionality to mediawiki? It was just an idea of how to fund software development projects that might never have gotten a green light otherwise.
