Not got round to testing this yet, but looks a very promising project.
I can't help you with the plugin building (one day I will teach myself plugins), but may I add if you do go down the plugin route, it would be very useful if you design it so skinners can skin it via their own files, rather than a skin folder in the plugin. Its so much easier for us.

This will be foremost in our mind. Once we get round to a plugin. The script we are working on is along the same lines as suls, we are in conversation and have "borrowed" each others code. We are all working towards the same goal here.
There is plenty of life left in Enigma2 boxes and no reason why they cant work as well if not better then the mag, and without a doubt easier to navigate.
