Thanks. I wrote to the American Go Association when we started this project, and they wrote back, "We can't tell you how excited we are." They put a note in their e-mail newsletter about us. When we can take our software to one of their events, we can talk about getting assorted game records and go literature into a library content bundle. I was a 6-kyu player in my youth, according to the teachers in my school in Korea, where I was a Peace Corps Volunteer. I learned at a chess club when I was eleven. If I had had access to the literature available now, I am sure I would have made amateur dan. I am delighted to see children getting opportunities I didn't have back then, and being able to help get even more opportunities to way more children. I can read the Korean and Japanese go literature a little, and I can provide pointers to a lot of on-line resources. The Hip-Hop Chess Federation is also interested in our work, as is International Chess Master Josh Waitzkin, author of The Art of Learning". Walter Bender started discussions with his book and chess tutorial software publishers about Free licenses on versions of the book and software. I have literature and contacts for a great many more games. We aren't going to run out of programming exercises for a very long time. > I have a few patches that add basic scorekeeping, Do you mean scoring at the very end of a game, or scoring games in matches, or what?

Nobody is in charge, and as far as we can tell, nobody in management notices when nobody is in charge. %-[ As I understand it, the project manager is supposed to give participants git access. When a project manager abandons a project, it often happens that nobody does anything about it. > so I'm using part of the project hosting application here :) : Exactly right, under the circumstances. > 1.
