Arend summed it up fairly well. I think the most interesting item that is tractable for someone new to the engine is the one about superko detection. That one has been discussed before and someone might have started on it, but unless that someone calls out we may as well assume that it's free. > - Is there anything more to do to 'get started' other than building > the CVS source, making changes, and re-running regress.pl?

You're probably better off with regress.pike to easily see the regression impact and view.pike to analyze the breakage. > - Are there any items on trac.gnugo.org that experienced developers > might recommend? Ticket 1 might be worth revisiting. It's not all that easy and possibly somewhat thankless, however. The current status is that the patch doesn't apply as is, so the work would be to try to adapt it to the current code and see how it fares now, plus if possible analyze the breakage in some depth. /Gunnar _______________________________________________ gnugo-devel mailing list gnugo-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnugo-devel
