We practice clean room engineering, which means we have to implement everything from scratch. As such, progress is slow and difficult. We are also trying to balance feature development, bugfixes, performance improvements, exploit resolution, code review, and testing.
This project is maintained entirely by volunteers in their spare time. We can't and won't ever guarantee any timelines for features or bugfixes. Sometimes the maintainers have lots of time to work on the project, sometimes they have none, sometimes they just don't feel like it and want to go outside and touch grass instead.
The fastest way to get new features or bugfixes is to roll up your sleeves, get in there, and start working on them :)!
We will never accept financial or material incentives for our work. This is a hobby project. External incentives would drive developer and staff time in a way that makes it no longer a hobby.
Features in LandSandBoat are those that have been submitted to us, meet our standards for quality and accuracy, and that we have had the time to review and integrate with the rest of the codebase. It is very rare that we will accept code on someone else's behalf. While there is technically nothing stopping us, it would undermine our position in the community.
Similarly, sending us code snippets creates more work and strain on staff and developers. If you have code you want to contribute, please speak to us with GitHub Issues, Discussions, and open a Pull Request.

You can't - it isn't in the game anymore.

"Classic" Dynamis was removed from the game in 2011. The spawn mechanisms as you remember them are gone from the game, and those zones no longer act the way they used to.
The overall project goal is to emulate the retail game as closely as possible, so a massive custom solution to approximate "Classic" Dynamis is not on our roadmap.
No.

There are many many things are enforced by the game client.
For instance; you can set your jobs to be 75NIN/75BLM but you won't be able to equip Lv75 BLM gear - this is enforced by the client.
Bypassing these restrictions would need heavy client modification (which we don't support) or support scripts and changes in core.
What's available to use per-zone is controlled with the misc flags column in zone_settings.sql. These flags correspond to the ZONEMISC enum in zone.h. A query to modify those flags can be found in Useful SQL queries.

enum ZONEMISC
{
MISC_NONE = 0x0000, // Able to be used in any area
MISC_ESCAPE = 0x0001, // Ability to use Escape Spell

MISC_MOUNT = 0x0004, // Ability to use Chocobos and mounts
MISC_MAZURKA = 0x0008, // Ability to use Mazurka Spell
MISC_TRACTOR = 0x0010, // Ability to use Tractor Spell

MISC_AH = 0x0200, // Ability to use the auction house
MISC_YELL = 0x0400 // Send and receive /yell commands
};These are the predecessor projects that LandSandBoat is derived from, which are archived and no longer maintained or supported.
It's the project namesake. It's a feature, not a bug. 👀
