No interest here - are there any bugs left?  There are some annoyances.
One thing is the predominance of city building, this should end,
at least in the default settings.  Another is the relative lack of
keyboard shortcuts.  I have a patch to add some but it isn't finished.

Yes, using /ailevel 5 would be fine with me.

Rewritten server command line interface + a client-side GUI for server
commands + connections over local Unix sockets + a wrapper to start
server and client at once = kickstart functionality + rewritten interface.

Scripting can wait until somebody spends the energy to do it right (?)

I have a wishlist of my own but nothing which is all that urgent.
Some AI improvements would be nice (for hard AI).
