I’d always liked to have a scripted clone like tool, with an interface to control clones (like the clone plugin) but still the possibilty to manually offset a certain clone.
So 1 a flexible clone tool.
A flexible sanity check script which you can feed a customisable (is that a word!?) xml or somesort of ini file.
So 2 a preflight check tool
And 3 a menu framework to control the building and removing of scripts and menu items.
I know the last 2 are somewhat production specific, but it would still be interessting to see what people come up with.
My 2 cents,

The new challenge is up:

As an aside, please don’t be discouraged that I don’t take on all suggestions. I do read and review all of them and try to incorporate elements, but some of the challenge suggestions are a little too specific and difficult for people of all skill levels to tackle.
If you think we need to have request-specific challenges occasionally, I’m more than happy to accomodate.
Maya-like Slice Edge Ring, if you’ve ever seen this bad boy in action you’d even consider change to Maya!
I just saw a video of this guy highRes modelling with this tool. It takes Max a number of clicks to cut in a edge loop at precise point.

Some possible ideas, especially with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up,
