I think that this is a very exciting set of ideas and potentially could explode the popularity of eqemu. As you mentioned there are some important things to keep in mind.
1. Recreating EQLive could get people in trouble, but if people want to do it then the best way to go about it is to keep it completely separate from the emu.
2. We need some standards so as not to:
a. duplicate work
b. break other work by importing data
3. Big step will be getting some sort of editor working or getting a program working that imports a known freeware modeler type. From my time building quake levels and models I know a little bit about this and there are tools out there, but I am sadly very much lacking in the programming side of the house.
4. We need dedicated people who can work together to pull this off. A huge first step is WC's Admin Tool of course, another will be his release of the modified zone viewer.
Who is interested in this? I know there is a thread on worldbuilding in the Dev area... Mayhap we should mention this over there =) Heck we probably should've started this thread over there eheheh!
