Hello, Very good idea to make a launcher, and if I might add, an integration of Mumble chat system or another centralized chat system might be a big plus to the game (because currently, there's no way one can chat with other players prior to join in a server).
You might also be interested to look into some of the efforts that were put into making an OpenArena launcher: A launcher that works, but quite simple: http://rainbow.furver.se/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1174&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 A discussion about launcher and some arts provided (you might want to contact some of the graphic artists of OA, seems like they are a lot interested by this idea): http://openarena.ws/board/index.php?topic=3568.0 Good luck for your project.
