The more eyes the better they say. My personal collection of Project
Aon scripts can be found archived here:

If you find something to fix - heaven knows there's plenty to find as
long as you can make sense of my code - just let me know. There are
other programs and utilities floating around. Come to think of it,
I've added another personal to do item: create a directory of
utilities.

This would be great. We ask that any code you write be open sourced
under a license of your choosing or deeded to the public domain. Two
other things on my personal wish list:

1) Standardized data file format to read games from so that the books
aren't hardwired into the software. I guess that almost goes without
saying, but earlier attempts were based on the premise of hardwired
books.

2) Utility to track game statistics as you read. We have a way to
create PML <http://www.palmdigitalmedia.com/dropbook/pml> books, but
the major drawbacks are the lack ability to track statistics and the
need for a large map.

If you have any other creative ideas, we as a group are open to
suggestions. I look forward to working with you.
