Your suggestions seem more like customisations (changing
packaging/appearance to suit your requirements) rather than
improvements. Not everyone is going to find that your proposals
improve usability.

Isn't the config information enough for you ?
If not, and you really want a different view of the Nag data, why not
create another (a new) CGI that integrates the config info with whatever
else you want (there is a Perl Nagios object config parser on CPAN that
may help with this).
Is there any chance that the CGIs in 2.0alpha suit you better ?

I am not with you here.
Do you mean that the recipient of notification is _not_ the person who
will fix it ?
Yes ? The recipient acks as above; the ack message becomes a persistent
comment.
No ? then probably the recip is the fixer. As above.
Yours sincerely.
