What I drastically need for Mystic would be a File/Message System Editor.

A tool that could read our various ./mystic/data files, or other Mystic files, and allow a sysop to mass-edit File/Message Conferences/Areas down to every minuet detail. For example, I would love to re-arrange my Conferences/Areas FILES... right now various File Areas are located on different disks;

/mnt/BackupA/some/path/to/file/area
/mnt/BackupB/some/path/to/file/area
.... etc etc etc.

I'm dealing with thousands of File Areas, so editing by hand isn't really an option at this point - so I'm just stuck will all my data spun around various disks from across the years. I'd like to be able to find File Areas that contain some string - '/mnt/BackupXXX/rootdir' - and then edit Areas that contain those links letting my move around my BBS files better. Even if I still have to use multiple drives, I can have some /mnt/BackupXXX/bbs root directory where all BBS files are...

To create a tool like this, would I need g00r00 to help or release something that we'd need in order to read those data files?? Or with all the various documentation out there already could I get jiggy with the AI vibe and write a tool like this?
