Lock Free Hashtable for .Net

Port the Java Lock-Free Hashtable from Java to C# in .Net.  Ensure correctness and compatibility with .Net and Mono.

Must know Java and C#.

Add Deep Zoom to Deki Wiki

Deep Zoom is a Silverlight application for visualizing large quantities of photos.  Most notable implementation is at http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/ .  The implementation should support finding images by tags and location within the Deki Wiki hieararchy to provide an alternative method of discovering information inside a wiki ecosystem.

Experience with Silverlight. Better suited for student with strong IA interest

Improve Subversion integration

A Deki Wiki extension that displays svn commits exists but there's a lot of potential for improvement.

• Displays the diff of a revision or a file in a easy to understand way
• Display the file structure of an svn repository path. Extra credit: allow in place browsing
• Display the svn blame info in a human friendly way
• Display file contents with highlighting based on type of file.

Experience with Subversion and C# necessary. 

Allow extensibility in Recent Changes feature

The existing listing of recent wiki edits can be mixed with changes/events from other systems such as bug trackers, version control commits, system monitoring tools, rss, etc.

Create frameworks for Deki Extension in other languages

Currently, remote data services can be accessed inside Deki Wiki using Deki Extensions; currently only the C# library has been completed to interface with Deki Wiki. Port this code into other languages (Python, PHP, Java, Ruby) to allow for other extensions to be written in other languages.

Better suited for less-experienced students in any language, since we already have the C# code as a starting point.
