I'm looking for a modification that will have a log (separate page?) of the changes people make to their profile (preferably certain custom fields).

I run a game guild site, and the game does not have an internal log of when people gain levels, complete quests, and so on. Thus, I've created a large number of custom fields, and I think it would be really useful to be able to see when someone changes something in their profile.

Obviously I would not want things like a change of email address to show up.

At its simplest, a page with a log like:

JohnSmith modified their level. Was 35, is now 38.
AmySmith modified their Game Status. Was Not Away, is now Away - 11 to 20 days.

Most of my fields are text boxes or drop-downs, which are stored as text. I realize that multi-option check-boxes would be very difficult, as they are stored as numbers (binary?), and since I don't have any, I wouldn't need the functionality to be there to parse those.

At its most complex, in addition to the above with usergroup security (view) maybe a "What are my friends up to?" page where it shows people the same info on their friends, with privacy settings.

Checking to see if anyone else would find this useful, or wanted to take a stab at it?
