Based on the idea of seanth at http://code.google.com/p/minecraft-gates/issues/detail?id=24 i'm planning an addon to automatically create gates. Here's how it will work:

1. A player dials a specific coordinate based on the items in the chest.
2. The addon will then check if a gate exists in that section.
3. If one doesn't exist, it creates a gate
4. The original gate then continues it's dialling sequence, connecting to the new gate.

Of course there's the other situation of when a player explores a new area. If a gate doesn't exist for that section, it is created.

This would basically mean that admins would no longer need to create gates, they could just add this and the map would automatically seed with gates and it wouldn't be difficult to modify this for seanth's original idea.
