Some people are redesigning the server messages right now, so you probably 
want to wait a bit before you try to make a patch.
Besides, wouldn't it be nicer if the messages of the current turn were saved 
in the savegame? It is also usefull to be reminded of them when you load a 
game.
Besides, you need a way to conduct diplomacy. How to do that isn't obvious. 
In generel don't mind me, I haven't thought it through properly :).
