Suggestion for a Mediawiki Plugin

[GoogleCodeExporter]

text2.0 with eye tracking and emotiv support may be a great tool to annotate 
mediawiki content. It can provide valuable feedback to the authors of articles 
from the reader. 

If there are positions in the article many readers stuck, the author gets 
feedback to explain those things in more easy terms. On the same time, the 
article might hide less relevant complex information. Also the suggestion to 
creating links on terms users tend to not know about can be helpful for the 
author. 

The definition of unknown words can get imported from the proper articles using 
a popup interface as the instaview[1] script does.

The author might provide special tags like <important> and <optional> to 
annotate what is needed to understand the topic and what is only for deepening 
the understanding. A colored highlighting in editing mode can give hints where 
the readers stuck.
