1. Better informational messages and checks are always appreciated. Good logging should be the basis of any halfassed application, and logging in eqemu is fairly inconsistant (open source, 101 different fingers and no standards, so no ones fault)
2. Relatively useless IMHO. It just doesnt provide much.
3. Ties with 1, and logging. If you really think a frontend will help out, more power to you, I just dont see it being awfully useful. Once again, more checks/error conditions are always useful, and standardizing the logging will help. A big help would be going through the code and fixing all the cast conditions occur where someone takes a float and tries to squeeze it directly into an int. Most of the time on linux they're just warnings, but sometimes you loose something you didnt mean too. (Windows dev's dont pay much attention to casting).
Any help is appreciated, and those are just my opinions, you are free to pursue whatever you feel is worthy, and I'll make sure it gets into the code base if it's acceptable.
