I have one and only one request regarding new software tools for Traveller. If they are design tools, I would like the output to be in a standard structured text format which has broad support. My preferences would be one of YAML, JSON, and XML: pick the one that's easiest to use in your application and provide read and write to that format.
We don't have to agree on the data structure itself. Translators can be written.
To sum up, the format of data files should be parseable with an included library and one line of code.
my data = XML.parse( textFromFile ). // or YAML, or JSON...
