Well, we can pretty much say that any tips on how Quake 3 optimized terrain maps will work here. That sounds like an unwarranted assumption to me, but FWIW... One problem you get in quake3 maps like what your screenshots show is too many brushes in a given leaf node. Q3 traces [1] essentially do a ...

Subversion is a very reasonable choice. It's free, crossplatform, stable, relatively easy to administer, and has an active community. There are a number of user friendly GUI based clients as well. I'm not really sure what you mean by 'apache baseed' but subversion supports using apache to serve the...

Well the first step is to make q3map2 compile in realtime

Keep in mind that Radiant has the nasty habit of completely reorganizing your map file every time you save, so SCCS that expect to save deltas will generate a huge amount of bloat. Modern systems should have an option to just save each revision without delta compression. Obviously, the re-organizing...

Q3 already supports native .dlls in addition to QVMs, doesn't it ?

If you want to disable qvm support, look in qcommon/vm.c

Fix LAN detection, or at least provide a client equivalent of sv_lanforcerate

The current system assumes you are on a LAN if you are in the same class A/B/C IP space as the server. This is obviously wrong, and will cause you to send 1 packet per frame regardless of your netsettings.

Text in opengl isn't too hard. For quick and dirty stuff, there's some things that convert fonts to opengl display lists. See wglUseFontBitmaps and wglUseFontOutlines http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/opengl/ntopnglr_2r8z.asp Most 'real' applications use textured quads...
