Yes, I think uboat.net is the best place to start. It is accessible and straightforward. We can tackle more complex tasks later if all goes well. Again, the possibilities with a collaborative approach are almost limitless, as long as there are volunteers.

I would suggest, though, that we deliberately aim for an easily-achievable goal for the first installment of this project. That way, the project won't seem too daunting, we will have a nice sense of accomplishment after having finished the first portion, and it will allow us to check our work to see if any modifications are needed.

EDIT: what did you mean by "magic numbers?"
