Where can I get the details about the formats for 2.0 ???
Or is it non-existant currently? Should I just look at the CVS
Code to determine the formats?

Since you've taken the leap on a big project, I'll throw in a few
comments.
I would plan on developing this to work with 2.0, rather than 1.0.
The format of the status, comment, and downtime files have changed in
2.0.
Also, 2.0 has a cached object file (var/objects.cache by default)
that is created after Nagios starts. It contains a "flattened" view
of all object definitions that were present when Nagios started. All
definitions have already been resolved, replicated, and all the fancy
tricks are applied before this file gets created. This makes it very
easy for external apps (like the PHP interface) to parse the config
without having to worry about changes in how Nagios parses the raw
object definition files.
Lastly, I personally believe that many of the current CGIs are
horrendous, so I wouldn't be too worried about replicating their look
and feel exactly. I think moving to a PHP interface would be a good
time to evaluate some different interface designs before anything is
nailed in stone. This might include things like a tabbed interface,
hiding links that are not used very often, using drop-down menus for
command lists (as in the host/service detail view of extinfo.cgi),
etc. Food for thought anyway.
I will likely be able to give you a hand with much of the conversion,
but not until 2.0 goes beta. I need to finish up the major coding
and start writing documentation before I can move on to something
new.
