I think it would be interesting if the game could have an auto-updater. Which would save us dial-up users from having to download the game each time you release a new version.
Glad to see a volunteer.
Good luck on setting that up. May I suggest you have it separate from OA, this way the update program could be used for multiple programs/projects and update them individually.
I might make a Java program that deals with patching up programs automatically...
