We are running Discourse since dec’13. Meanwhile, we have thought some customization for several projects, but in our organization we haven’t a Rails / Ember.js developer, so we are searching someone that could helps us with one or some of the tasks on the list:

1. **Plugins** :

- Embed a Google Calendar on a post: the [current plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/brand-new-plugin-interface/8793/38) to do that doesn’t seem to work ☹
- Embed a Google Drive (Spreadsheets) on a post: as seen and suggested [on this topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-google-maps-be-embedded-into-topics/11146/3), “It would be fantastic to embed a spreadsheet so people on a topic could fill data or answer a form”.
- Stats: As I suggested [on this topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/export-user-information-list/18960/5), the export user info list doesn’t export enough data for us. Jeff Atwood suggested to write a little app that queries from the Discourse API but we don’t know to do that ☹

1. **Custom layout** : it would be useful for us to add a column to the right side (only for /latest and /categories page), where we could add the html we wanted, as is now the header and footer:  

2. **Mediawiki integration** :

- (v0) Adding a new tab to the layout
- (v0) Embedding a mediawiki site on the tab
- (v1) Share login with mediawiki, add custom badges for contributors, link discussions with topics…

You might want to check out/install my [sidebar-plugin](https://github.com/ligthyear/discourse-plugin-sidebar). It provides (as the name suggests) a sidebar with plenty of existing widgets. No free-html-blob yet though, but PRs welcome.

Do you know of anyone that has this in use at the moment? I’d love to see it in action.
