Some Catholic ideas for the aspiring hacker

• Make a GMaps mash-up of saints over time, a la Trailmapping. Your test cases:
  • St. Francis of Asisi: Italy, Jerusalem
  • St. Ignatius of Loyola: Spain, Jerusalem
  • St. Francis Xavier: all over the world
  • should have a checkbox / filter for the Blesseds.
  • Source: start backward in time, from recent canonizations.
• A GMaps + GeoDjango mash-up of areas of Dioeceses and numbers of Bishops over time.
  • Should handle titular sees (Auxiliary (Arch-)Bishops)
• IconNotes, a la Flickr Notes (image map hover tool-tip):
  • San Damiano cross
  • Coat of arms of Bishops and Dioceses.
  • would be nice if it supports more than squares, e.g. the Franciscan Tau.
• Again, a trailmapping-like mashup for procession routes.
• Update masstimes.org to follow GMaps and GCalendar.
• Mass intention tracker:
  • should handle insertions (urgent prayer requests)
• Lector schedule
  • should handle contact info, "which mass do I go to".
  • should handle "children's mass, kids are reading".
  • for days of multiple readings, the presider can login and pre-rsvp which reading he wants.
  • allow lector to login and "ask for substitute", and for people to substitute.
• Cantor schedule, in a similar spirit as the above.
• Music director software:
  • Use lilypond for typesetting.
  • editable electronic sheet, plus limited annotation (change half notes to full notes, change pitch, add interlude, etc)
  • Have a "choir version" and "congregation version" and "instrumentalist version", and "soprano only", with MIDI/mp3 output.
  • Blog/RSS of selection for the mass.
