====Random Pages====
Explored a number of alternatives for random page generation within a category. No luck so far.
* External script (toolserve based) - didn't work at all
* Extension Intersection/DynamicPageList - can't embed random links
* Extension: RandomInCategory - not random at all
====Video Platform II====
Further investigation into proxies, no joy with what we want despite coming close with phpmyproxy script, but cant get it to accept urls so not much use. May aave to look at cookies for authentication.
====Virtual Hospital III====
Tried to force compatibility onto IE6 but failed. Can't seem to get it to inherit all the requirements beyond the first 'div' class. All other browsers tested are fine though (FF4 Chrome12, IE8,IE9, android webkit). Slight modifications made so images are located in relative form (broke IE6 and probably IE7) but allows everything to be displayed correct using different skins in mediawiki (simple has problems). IE6 cant render anything outside vector skin (and doesn't do that particularly well). May have to accept IE6 (IE7?) users cant use this resource!

====Virtual Hospital II====
Proper prototypes generated for main page to hospital ([http://beta.wikivet.net/Virtual_Hospital_Test_2] and [http://beta.wikivet.net/Virtual_Hospital_Test_3]). Basic level of compatibility testing done. IE6 stand out problem.

====Video Platform I====
Initial research into proxy layer for external videos and .htaccess restrictions to protect content.

====Virtual Hospital I====
Possibilities for interactivity explored and [http://beta.wikivet.net/Virtual_Hospital_Test_1 proof of concept] delivered. Should be able to do everything from css. Some incompatibly expected with old version of IE (6/7), but less than 6% users use these browsers.
====WYSIWYG====

Frustratingly while in many ways the editor worked, it failed to keep images, instead replacing them with link. Positively pointless extension...
