as an aside, do you foresee console2 being replaced by web console? will it get chrome errors? the big issues (filtered items nevertheless clog/push out the buffer) would be easier worked on in an updated codebase..
The web console will eventually handle chrome errors and other interesting features such as scratchpad (a javascript shell) and a source code editor.
Ever since Zeniko orphaned Console2, I've been keeping it on life support with small incremental patches, but eventually it will need a substantial rewrite. And when process separation (e.g. separate content/tab processes) comes in the nsIConsoleService is going away, making a rewrite necessary. I don't have the time and energy to do that so when it comes to the crunch, I'll probably do what Zeniko did and hang out a sign saying "New developer wanted". I could put it up in a Mercurial repository (cvs is rather jurassic) so that people could start contributing code if there is enough interest.
