The only thing that comes to mind is an editing / GM tool that I thought about a while back (and I'm sure I'm not the first) that lets you log in with a very thin EQ client for strictly administrative or developmental purposes. A 2d or loc driven interface that would give you a client presence without actually being visible or having to worry about clipping and maps while still being able to issue commands and communicate with players. I guess it would be a sort of fancy EQ shell that goes above and beyond the telnet interface.
Again, more details would be helpful.

I think the telnet interface could simply be expanded upon, it isn't nearly used enough, then other tools built in other languages could simply interface with the telnet shell if need be.
But then this also goes back to the general tool subject, I'd love to spend time developing tools that are flexible and do a lot of really handy stuff right at your finger tips. There's a lot that I could put together but anytime I do spend is helping others or trying to work on my own project (Not Funhouse) which gets blown to the side with my 60-70 hrs work week.
Georges has done alot for the community by providing tools using ODBC but as far as implementing new features I've never had the opportunity to speak with him on the subject of feature requests or development, but there could be a lot of nice things that could be done from a management perspective and development perspective.
