Well, we're interested in having the menu's drop down on mouseover for 
instance instead of having to click on an item. It'd also be nice to be 
able to put images into the menu. One menu implementation I've used in 
the past that's served me well is phplayersmenu.sf.net

Just something to get ideas from really.

for it. IRC round table would be just fine prob.
