Hi Karl, That sounds very exciting - I think Arches would make an ideal Summer of Code project. Our experience in the U.K. is that heritage problems, and the associated software, are simply more interesting to programmers than yet another accountancy software package or similar (with all respect to accountants :-)).
One idea for the list: At Strasbourg last Summer someone asked if Arches 'works in 3D'. I don't know enough about the coding side to know if that is a big challenge or a simple one, but the idea that Arches should be capable of incorporating and working with 3D information (which I take to mean 3D landscape sources such as digital terrain models, and Lidar surveys, plus 3D building or site models and reconstructions) is an exciting one. Many of the presentations at Strasbourg related to 3D survey techniques, and how these are becoming routine in the sector. 3D is of course an idea that Google are committed to via Google Earth, and projects they have sponsored such as Google Model Your Town.
