Hi! I think Detlef is thinking right about it - if I had the time to work on CGOS, I would look at reusing whatever is done already in the area of having programs play against each other, and extending that with literally just networking + userdb + rating + autopairing + webreports.
Gogui (in Java) is one obvious starting point, though it seems more sensible to me to reuse the gogui classes in your project rather than building CGOS within the gogui project. Another possible starting point is gomill (Python). At any rate, I think that if you reuse existing work, you should be looking at a relatively small project to do, actually! (But this is all just kibitz from me, of course.)
