Over on his blog, the Open University's Tony Hirst posts a number of ideas for submissions to the competition.

He writes,

"Time is a scarce resource, which makes building a major piece of software for the Library Mashup Competition difficult. Here then is one particular roadmap I hope to follow in assembling small standalone applications using small amounts of reusable code - I anticipate 30mins to 2 hours effort for each one. Each mini-app will provide useful functionality as a standalone item, but should also be capable of being integrated or aggregated with others items to provide a more comprehensive (integrated) tool suite. Providing separate scripts for each component: 1) allows for point testing of different functionality; 2) increases the number of "baby scripts" available for other people to build on or reuse (without them having to strip out other functionality)."
