OverDhill:
Personally I am not familiar with the WCS Plus. What features does WCS Plus offer over the standard WCS?

There are many changes over the standard WCS build, which was based on FSO 3.6.12.
So instead of listing these here myself, I simply share the links to the right topics. :)

Admiral Nelson:
The thing with a lot of the WCS+ stuff is that those are changes to the codebase itself and not to the mod components -- I'm not a coder and I've never looked at the codebase. The changes described seemed to be focused mostly on the interface portion. There is already a project going on to move the FSO interface away from its present clumsy implementation, and so one would likely want to make those interface changes in that new standard system.
My goal in making this was to try and revive interest in Wing Commander modding in general by making Saga available in a modern and supported build, so I'd certainly welcome any interest in such projects from anyone. There are many things that could be done with it now -- for instance m|m's truetype font support would allow for using Slicker and other proper WC fonts throughout the mod. Scooby has made prototype cockpits which support render to texture which could be added. And of course, since it is now in standard FSO, multiplayer and cross platform support are a given.

Can you ask somewhere, if the WCSaga Deutsch Team is interested to make a Knossos compatible release of their translation? I think that would be nice move, because i also have released my translations on it (except for BtA, because i am still working on a new major release) :).
