Sitecore Habitat Commenting is aiming to bring a commenting experience into a page delivered by Sitecore Habitat. 3rd Party discussion or commenting modules take the engagement away from your website.

We have built a Sitecore graph database module which is powered by a cloud database (Neo4j) running in the cloud (www.graphenedb.com). The module allows interesting graph Cypher queries to be made to deliver relevant related content.
Integration of the Google Maps into Sitecore. The Google Maps is a very popular feature a modern good website can have. The visitors who demand fast and easy access for the desired information dont want spend time for searching for them. Today just show the address on the page is simply not enough. The ’How to get there?’ became such as important as the ’Where it is?’.
Custom video player rendering. Extend habitat media feature while extending Sitecore with custom video player rendering with experience editor friendly user experience to be able to search online videos across multiple service providers such as YouTube and Vimeo in standardized SPEAK based UI. This would facilitate lot of enterprises to integrate with their corporate online video channels. Long term objective is also to bring in media analytics capabilities, perhaps integrating with Sitecore xDB, as applicable and possible.
REST Service Integration with Visualized Google Map. The purpose of this module was to provide a generic framework for integrating and aggregating various geo spatial datasources. This enables a user-friendly manner for end-users and technical staff to specify RESTful web service data to consume in Sitecore and have this data displayed in a Google Maps visualization.
The Event Feature. Based on our experience with Sitecore and the expectations that our customers have when creating a new website we did an entire walk-through of the Habitat solution. As we investigated the Features made available in the latest Habitat version we tried to list which elements we saw as missing from the solution. One of the features that seemed lacking was the possibility for the content editor to create and manage events as well as all associated content.
Learn, innovate and try to combine two technologies which are not yet directly integrated. Transfer the heavy indexing process to an external provider hosting in the cloud to allow the end user to have a better search experience.

Please follow the instruction in the same order as seen in the document. This module won’t work outside habitat right now, as it have some dependencies on the Foundation of Habitat.
Rendering Mover for Habitat. In the Sitecore 8.0 Experience Editor it was only possible to add renderings to the Final Layout. If you wanted to change the Shared Layout you had to use the Presentation Details. This meant that an author usually added a specific rendering for each language manually. In Sitecore 8.1 it’s possible to add renderings to the shared Layout from the Experience Editor.
Sitecore Fresh. The only module to let content authors know that their content is out of date! With extensibility endpoints for developers, notifications in the various editor modes, and boosting of search results, this module is action packed and will be a welcome hit to content authors across the world.
