Wow nice devblog, lots of good and bad things in it.
Personally I think that the new 5 levels of standings would be way too constrictive.
At a personal level I use around 21 different levels:
-10 Active WarDec
-9 Alloance Hate
-8 Corp Hate
-7 Ex WarDecs (just so that we don't **** them off again)
-6 Remote Reps Identified in WarTime
-5 Suicide Gankers and their Alts
-4 HS Mission Griefing/Ransoms
-3 LS Mission Griefing/Ransoms
-2 Can Flippers/Tippers
-1 Ninja Salvagers/Suspected Spies in Corp/Alliance
0 Everybody Else
1 Alliance NAP
2 Corp NAP
3 Personal NAP
4 Alliance Likes
5 Corp Likes
6 Personal Likes
7 Alternate Corps/Characters of Alliance Members
8 Alternate Corps/Characters of Alliance CEOs/Directors
9 Alternate Corps/Characters of Corp Members
10 Alternate Corps/Characters of Corp CEOs/Directors
Now these aren't used at Corp Level, at that level I use a different layout.
The Standings progression thing. This makes the least sense to change.
Personally I think the Order should be:
Person->Person, Person->Corp, Person->Alliance, Corp->Person, Corp->Corp, Corp->Alliance, Alliance->Person, Alliance->Corp, Alliance->Alliance
If I recall correctly this is basically how it is at the current time.
I can't see any good reason for changing it to the proposed order of:

Alliance->Person, Alliance->Corp, Alliance->Alliance, Corp->Person, Corp->Corp, Corp->Alliance, Person->Person, Person->Corp, Person->Alliance
As per other peoples previous posts, showing the calendar in local TZ would be much prefered over having it in Evetime, having a bracketed "LocalTime(EveTime)" is a good compromise.
Also with the calendar, as previous people have suggested, having items associated with a mailing list instead of just Personal/Corp/Alliance would be good too.
OK, now EveGate, what kind of information is going up there? for the most part I would like to opt out of having any of my information viewable publically, I would probably opt in to display information to people based on Corp/Alliance/Personal friendship, but not on standings.

The long and short of it is that this system is intended to fill the role of a "friends" system for EVE Gate, and as such we want to have simple and intuitive, both mechanically and in terms of UI.
I think this is a mistake, you are mixing game mechanics with social mechanics in a bad way.
Scenario 1: I have a friend in RL who is a pirate (I'm a carebear). So I want them to show up red in space, but for social networking purposes I want to give them access to my blog/updates/whatever.
Scenario 2: I have a family member in RL who also plays EVE. I post embarrassing things in my blog and don't want them to read it, but I want them to show up blue in space so I don't shoot them.
Scenario 3: In-game I'm a role player who sets all pirates and amarrians to red. I don't roleplay on my blog, however, and want everyone to be able to read it.
Scenario 4: I'm a not-blue=shoot it kind of player, so I need to set all kinds of people to blue so I don't shoot them. But I only want a few select people to be able to read my status updates or view my profile.
This.
Agreed
