Hey, I wouldnt mind helping out, if you would like some help.

I currently am familiar with:
Visual Basic
C++
Java
Java Scripting
Some databasing

But I learn pretty fast (once you learn one programming language, they are all pretty similar).

In any case, I think that the first post should be updated as ideas come in and next to each one you can list the feasibility as you see it.

*edit* Also I have some experience working with Qt (C++ library that KDE is based off of, aka completely system independent can run on Windows / Mac / Linux you name it.)

Being a Java programmer myself, I can recommend using Eclipse as IDE when you program Java. It is free and very powerful. Sun's Netbeans is free and should be great too, but I don't have experience with that IDE.

Ya there are some belnder plugins there
Not that much, and with good reason. I've done some research and I might be walking too fast. :blushing:
It appears there is a fundamental difference as the base of Hammer is brushes and of Blender faces. I don't understand it fully myself, and the info is quite sparse, so just ignore all my "want a Blender script!" requests for the moment :)

I actually have extensive experience with Netbeans at this point. For the last 6 months I have been working on / off on developing a Netbeans module.

Netbeans 6.0 is actually pretty nice. Lots of support for graphical controls, but I have to say Eclipse seems a bit more stable, gotten less errors on it. (as in Netbeans sometimes will bitch about not being able to "Find harness.dir" and then you gotta restart Netbeans)

I have a new suggestion:
A normal map painter. Not just a plugin but a tool that lets you paint straight into normal map format. so you can draw on areas to raise them, erase areas to rub them out....
