I don't want to hear all the public outcries and rage over a WinShowEQ. It's not a good idea.
What I do want to know is how the community would react to a WinGPS. My thought is to combo EQW functionality with the linux GPS functionality. It's not unlike what (allegedly, I've never seen it) Xylobot does, only it'd be side by side instead of an overlay.
There are a few issues I need to deal with; it's long from ready for primetime. I don't know whether a)I should keep playing with it until I can do it all on my own, and release it as a binary, quietly; b) Do it on my own, release it as a binary, loudly; c) Open source as much as I can and simply require everyone to download the SDK's I'm playing with.
I'd prefer option C, because that's less I have to personally learn. Of course, that'd mean I'd have to show the world how sloppy my coding can get at 2AM.
The other problem with C is I'm not sure how the community here and Verant would react. Obviously if I'm sniffing out player loc it's not a huge jump to added a hacked and ported libEQ.a. I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if I'm getting in over my head. Guess that's why I wanted to take a reading here before I got too far.
