I think it is about time to implement an application programmers interface (API) into EU, just like the way twitter let's 3rd party software access their users accounts.
(OAuth authorization via https)
Facebook, Google, Twitter, yes even Youtube and MSN offer their own API, to enable third party software controlled access to their service features.
This would allow users to grant access to the numerous EU tools that can be revoked from the user unilaterally at any time and doesn't require gold card codes and stuff like that.
Including source samples i.e. for PHP that can be openly downloaded, so even programming newbs can make use of the API without having to go trough all the OAuth and curl coding.
Access level should be determined by the user, and include i.e. these:
This does NOT involve spending of PEDs (not necessarily), but merely provide an interface for maintaining and managing your avatar and assets in EU.
I am sure there are more good ideas, feel free to post them here.
I'd happily help to implement it (not for free though, a mod merc would be a good start) - so, MA, can we get it, please?

- Access to the users storage list
- Access to the users skills
- Access to the users shops/shopkeeper inventory/sales list
- Access to the users auctions (info about pending/completed sales
- Access to the users PED accounts (i.e. CLD payouts/LA payouts)
- Access to the users land area data, like fertilizer amount left and such
- Maybe access to the numerous bank control panels (not soo important, only 6 players would benefit from that)
