I've got some idea about modbuilder, i understood your position as helping for someone to create a mod easily, without deep knowledge about smf structure and etc. OK, i think it would be cool if you add some visual asist to mode builder, in example:

you have got a list of all important smf scripts and you show a hint that contains a description for a script. After you chose that script, you can apply a hook to any containing function (before call, after call), or choose a list of db queries or echo comands and modify them. Other thing is a list of helper hooks, in example: You display a textarea where user can post any php script, and below this textarea, show other dynamically created field:

"execute when:" "choose from a list"

you can select:

user
membergroups
messages
statistics
register
posts
etc

in example we choose messages, then we have

"execute when:" "messages" "choose from a list":

count
time
reputation
replies
etc.

we choose count:

"execute when:" "messages" "count" "choose from a list":

is
at
since
for

---> is:

"execute when:" "messages" "count" "is" "choose from a list":

greater then
less than
equal to
greater or equal to
less then or equal to
etc

--->greater than

"execute when:" "messages" "count" "is" "greater than" [entervalue]:

and in a text field for script should be a visual assist:

when you enter:

send [pm]
[message]
[notification]
[warning]
[....]

.....

send pm to [admin]
[user]
[other guys]

.....

send pm to user ("bla bla bla");

Something like this, but[b] it's hard to implement[/b], and you should take a time for construct a whole image about it.
