I do believe that some of the tools could be improved upon extensively if the community were allowed greater access. There's many talented people here, and rather than having to wait for the next major release from Valve for a minor bug fix, it'd be much easier for all parties concerned to implement the fix ourselves, and submit it for general release to the maintainers. --Spektre1 01:55, 21 Jul 2006 (PDT)

Having VHE as opensource would allow modders to make it more dynamic...of course this might also require the SDK to mount the mod's 'tool content' folder before the general SDK version. As for code submissions, it would be great if we could manage submissions by providing base version code as well as automatically diffpatched submissions with titles&descriptions...and provide an online 'view friendly' version (highlighting changes) as well as a downloadable (zip) version—ts2do 02:15, 21 Jul 2006 (PDT)

Great idea, I'll put my name on it. It would definitely do the community some good, considering the lack of regular updates to fix bugs (as Spektre said). Wraiyth 17:20, 21 Jul 2006 (PDT)
