Mainly my suggestions are around the administrative areas of the site. Most of my time administrating the site is spent updating the roster, IMACD if you will, the seperation of the user accounts and members makes account management double the work. Here are a list of suggestions I would like to see:
* Maybe just make the user required to have at least one "main" character tied to the user account.
* Having some way of mass changes to guild rank status would allow people to be moved to "hidden/former member" status, if you do not update regularly. Deleting people with the existing system when they leave the guild also deletes all the history for loot and attendance. This deletion then ripples across all the DKP stats, Raid attendance numbers, graphs, item history and what not. Moving people to a hidden status is the only way I have found to maintain historical data for raiders past and present.
* Integrated forums that are not framed and support the basics like: photo resizing, photo/screenshot simultaneous upload to post and photo gallery, youtube video attachment. IM, emoticons, font colors are not that necessary. Permission based Guild administrative channels are more important, so type of permission based rank forum level.
*Time based raid attendence, or per attempt based raid attendance with time stamps. Then import DPK based on fight attempts, with DKP given to the winning team.
* Facebook / Twitter login authentication
*Twitter plugin that publishes to @yourguildname or #yourguildname - this would be useful for server notices, raid accouncements, and more proactive then the passive raid calendar.
* Facebook module option for membership, where your guild site becomes a friend or fanpage of your Facebook page. Possibly just moving EQDKP+ and tracking modules to Facebook as addon/applications.
* Ustream, Livestream plugin
* Date time stamps on the guild recruitment views
* Some type of half see through background on the Userlist page, the white text on certain background elements makes it hard to read.
*Iphone/Ipod touch viewing application
* World of Logs or WWS link option field in the create raid form. I know when I have keeping diligent track of raids, I was using the comments field to post WWS or WWL links of the raid stats. This might be better served by a plugin that pulls the top 5 Damage and Healing for the overall raid. Then link out to the full report from there.
*Some Plugin that allows the raid leader to configure a 10 and 25 man grid or "fight page" with existing players and then mark empty slots with PUG class types. Also allow for 1-2 alternates/standbys for each spot. Maybe be able to save a configuration for each fight instance in the raid zone. This type of mod would allow preplanned understanding of the raiding evening, and explanation as to why people are being moved in and out. This would also allow officers to start filling the raid or beginning the raid if the leadership is late or doesn't show up. Maybe include a comments field at the bottom for links to fight training material that the raid leaders wants know, and someway for people to "signoff" that they have read the material. Down the road of development, maybe add known required fight gearing/dps stats and compare those against the known member stats. Offer the results of the comparison in a graphical or RED/GREEN text output/check list.
*Pull guild 1st kills and historical kills (Naxx, and old world info) from someplace like guildOX, Blizzard, or some place else that tracks the historical info. This would make things like Boss tracking mod work better, and with less input.
*Loot Sign Up Addon - an item history type page for each raid encounter that shows known loot and allows people to sign up for loot ahead of time. A loot list of some sort, this would allow Lootmasters to make decisions on who gets what loot easier.
*Some type of "Due for Promotion" alert for guild members that have been members or initiates for a configurable amount of time.
* Guild rules/config page that offers a basic template of conduct rules, loot rules and promotion rules. This would have the configuration fields for officer alerts for the above suggestion.
* Guild Chat log import add on that is searchable. Usefull for resolving the he said she said, and other things.
* A front page Idiot Award for a member, we called ours the "Moon Award" after Stormoon the GM. This is special nomination for people acting up, mouthing off, or just generally being EMO. This might be expanded to Raiding MPV, determined by voting system, or the biggest Raid Liability award (most standing in fire/deaths.)
I have tons more if you want them.
