Yes those are implemented in the 'reflect_water_plane' shader that has
been written by Frank for the YoFrankie! project. This shader is in
'data/shader/reflect/' and it's probably a good idea to base your 'water'
shader on the same code. Frank must have much more precise ideas about
that.

The buggy reflections are quite recent, they are not present in the 2.0
branch for example.

No, no, you can just edit the file 'data/island/world' and put your mesh
into it instead of the current mesh that is for the water.

No, 'waterdemo' is some kind of tutorial for the CS users and doesn't
really need to be enhanced. You should probably concentrate your work only
on the 'water' mesh and its shaders instead.

But the generic functionalities of 'waterdemo' for the dynamic creation of
waves are clearly quite interesting for the 'water' mesh. That's what I
meant by a generic interface allowing to interact with the surface of the
water and create additional waves and water effects, but this falls
probably a bit out of the scope of this GSOC. Maye this idea can be
reconsidered in the end of the project if time allows.
