I am encountering a similar level of headache porting Darkmod, such that it has got to the point that I can't find any patience for it on top of the headaches I already have from Biology, Organic chemistry and Calculus

.
I think putting together some sort of Unified base would be a great idea. Especially since we could have modding relevant comments on script mechanisms written into it to further clarity and ease of use. One thing to keep in mind however is how much the the module system changes from .903 to the final release or even just the next version which sounds like may be released in a couple weeks. I don't know how successful communication between the devs and the mod community is, but maybe we should get an idea of the magnitude of changes from them to know if its worth doing this before the final release (scheduled for 2nd quarter 2008).
That said, I would be willing to work in what ways I could to further a project like this. My skill is probably roughly an intermediate level, but I usually pick up on things quickly.
