Thanks for all the suggestions everyone.

It seems like for me personally the easiest site to build will probably be the FashionQuest site, so I'll see if I can get that started someday soon.

However, a LOT of ideas here all depend on easy/reliable log uploading, so I really thing a generic log uploader would be awesome. I'm imagining something like a program you install once and then it always runs in the background so you forget it even exists. On a regular basis it would upload your logs to a central site, and then on that site there'd be a list of other sites you could "approve" to access your data.

So for instance, you might want to allow your logs to be accessed by the auction tracker site, but not the "show which zone I'm currently in" site, and the log uploader app/site would make that possible. And because all the code would be open source, you could know that the site isn't secretly sharing your data with someone you don't want to share it with.

Having that might enable a whole bunch of other sites to exist, so I might do that instead. If anyone else is interested in building it though (or collaborating on it) that'd be great, as I'm not sure I'll be motivated to finish it on my own.
