  • implement new context plugin: weather (for given coordinates or picture coordinates)
  • implement new context plugin: calendar (for adding current date/time/week/year info)

  • configure email in profile and notify user on update errors
  • in edit/delete forms/views check if given instance exists, if not redirect to listing pages
