Patreon/kickstarter-funded interpreters?

Ok, looking over the to-do list:

Inform 7:

• A set of choice-based and hyperlink-based extensions. (Preferably based on Unified Glulx Input).

What, specifically, is needed? Replacements for all the existing hyperlink extensions, to make them compatible with UGI? Is anyone in particular planning to take care of this, or can anyone jump in?

IFDB:

• IFOMatic [25]

This is a demo of a tool which can run through a batch of Z-code and Glulx games and generate a “screenshot” (text, not GIF) of the game’s opening screen. Would work in bulk, but would need a human to go through and tweak for particular games (e.g. if you have to hit a key to start).

Is checking to make sure you’ve got the correct opening screen, and tweaking this, something a non-programmer could do, or at least help with? Is checking the screenshots something that could be set up for anyone to contribute to, piecemeal, as they have time (e.g. there’s a queue, and you just click a check box to approve the screenshot, or not?)

Web sites:
As long as we’ve got web sites on the list, what about add something along the lines of cvaneseltine’s suggestion of a tool that would allow adding games to IFWiki without duplicating the effort of adding them to IFDB?
