hear hear!

 Wo> It's only a matter of time before I start tinkering on some custom software (probably doors). Tips for a starting place
 Wo> would be greatly appreciated.

i'm just starting the same thing, but im no java(script) programmer at all... your best bet would be to take a look at the repo itself as well as the wiki. 

as far as doors, you can do something simple that just uses standard STDIO i/o under linux (not sure about *dows), for example, i have a simple python script i wrote that pulls weather station details from my work network (i work for a company with the largest private wx and lightning detection network in the world) and just pulls the data from one of my local stations.

i have to now start working on how to get the "location" of the user so that i can customise it a little and also work out an ansi screen for it :D
