Rarely are there desyncs anymore on TAK. A lot of those issues have been resolved.
Regarding this:

- Create an OpenEQ project on GIT and fork the current EQEMU code, database, and quests into it. Or, implement someone else's code and data thats closer to Milestone 1.

It already exists, it's at
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/commits/master
You won't find anything closer to it beyond TAKProject which is also open source at
https://github.com/EQMacEmu/Server
Some amount of programming effort needs to be put in by one person and not just a bunch of 'idea men' coming up with the best theoretical project. If you guys had researched why EQEmu is in the state that it is, you'd find out that it's 1) Open Source, 2) Not compatible with Trilogy due to the protocol and 3) Has a project named PEQTGC which provides an open source implementation of live.
There's a reason why P99 is closed source - it's because they are proud of their work and don't want to splinter the community that they have.
Same with EQClassic.
Instead of trying to think of the most horrible ways to 'take down the beast that is P99' - why not just create your own open source project and not care about what anyone else does, or contribute to this place which has an end goal of what you are proposing anyways.
Word of warning: You'll get people that take your code and use it if it's open source. This initially seems like what you'd want to do, as anyone can use your code and that fits your mantra. But everyone has an ulterior motive and no one is pure and you'll regret doing so.
Open source sometimes inspires a great collective of minds to come together.
But the other half of the time, it inspires a clusterfuck of jealousy and inspires idea men who ride on the coattails of greatness so they can put their experience on their job application at Starbucks.
Proceed with caution.
