thinking about some AI technologies like Natural Language interfaces, intelligent OCR scanners, video crawler with using machine vision .... etc
Well if you like working with natural language. As far as I know, nobody has ported Natural Language Tool Kit (NLTK) from Python into PHP. I've ported small parts to suit my needs, but I am sure a lot of PHP developers would love having access to the whole thing directly.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I saw a good example of this at the LA Car Show yesterday. The new Honda Odyssey minivan has a vacuum cleaner built in to the cargo area, with an extendable hose that can reach all the way to the driver seat. Such a simple idea, I can't imagine how no other manufacturer ever thought of it before.
What about that great feature where accidentally leaving a cabin light on completely drains the battery so that you can't start the car? Why do so many cars still allow this to happen? I'm no electrical engineer, but it can't be so hard to measure battery life and automatically cut power to the cabin when it gets below a certain threshold.

What makes a project/webapp idea well-suited to PHP? It might be better to ask about your interests, your experience, etc.. Presumably you've branched off from coding basic CRUD apps into something more specialized; do you have expertise (and contacts, domain knowledge, etc.) you might want to leverage in a new project? Or do you want to start a side project to build more expertise in X? What do you want out of this?…
Two simple projects I'm needing:
- A Tumblr like app where I can post / tag / search the link s I stumbled upon in my daily browsing (with screenshots?). - A secure but simple commenting engine that I can attach to any of my pages (spam / attacks detection; confirm / delete from links in mails).
Of course I need them as free software. And I'm probably going to work on them soon.
PHP forum scripts are mostly horrible, out of date and bug-ridden messes. Make something simpler and better that's not a service.
If this is actually a problem you currently have, I've heard great things about FluxBB[0], it's built on Laravel and also powers the Laravel forums. [0] http://fluxbb.org/ EDIT: Its alpha 2.0 is built on Laravel and is a complete rebuild.
Fluxbb looks pretty nice though.
My way of learning a programming language is always to write a chess program in it (this is probably why I haven't learned any languages which don't encourage state). A multiplayer chess site would be a fun and challenging project.

PHP is wells suited for software that you want the users to install on "their" server without requiring any server configuration skills.

2. Why not Disqus?
