I'd like to see support for the Silhouette / SILCore dice mechanic (a multiple six sided die dice pool wherein the highest die is the total of the roll unless more than one "6" is rolled in which case each additional "6" result adds +1 to the initial 6).

Since you're a mentor, I'll mention that it wouldn't be very hard to write a small API script that would give you the total in this fashion whenever you roll a bunch of d6.

All well and good The Aaron, but that wouldn't do very much to encourage the other GMs and players of that system to come to Roll20. I'd like to see this community continue to expand past its D&D-centric roots.

I can certainly get behind that sentiment! I am merely suggesting it as a means to alleviate any problems from the current situation. :)

Thanks, The Aaron. Is there a site or resource that you can recommend to learn the appropriate API scripting?

I like Javascript: the Good Parts by Douglas Crockford for learning Javascript. (Particularly if you're already familiar with programming or specifically with Javascript) The wiki has a section on using the API, and there are lots of scripts and scripters in the API forum that can be a real help. There is a very similar request there right now for a script that groups pairs. That would be almost the same as this from a programming aspect.
