Visual scriptwriter
I would like a visual scriptwriter for campaigns or scenarios. One that lets you write events to map tiles, and lay down units then edit their abilities, and get an intro message and a victory message in before you have to wade into the script it's self. It would make things much easier. It could be done through the map-editor or something similar, and there would likely be limits to what you can do with it before you need to work on the scripts by hand but it would be a great time saver.

Background: The code changes frequently, and to add the new code to the program would be a hassal. If you want one now, you can make one of your own. If not, I would suggest using a WML highlighter.
Also, before posting, please that little link on the top of this website called 'Search'. You would have found out there was, in fact, a Campaign editor named Campgen.

The best way to learn is to follow. In order to learn WML, you have to follow other's work, and check their codes.

Death_is_undead covered all of the major points. If you want to see it done, you are free to do it yourself, no one will be doing it for you. Others have tried previously, as he noted, and you can start by looking there.
