I'm also very interested in this.
In defining an xml format, I wonder if would be possible to include
meta data about the game itself (player names, player ratings, game
date, dictionary used, tournament etc.)
This might not be as useful for games played against Quackle or ISC
games but I was hoping to one day see historical games in Quackle.
One of our plans for Cross-Tables.com is to add a section of actual
annotated games (each player would have a new tab listing all their
games in the database). After Dallas, I will have a full set of
Scrabble News and eventually plan to add all the annotated games
from there, Medleys, Wapnick's books, the NSA website, and(if I can
get back issues) JG Newlsetter, plus any others I can find. I won't
be adding the annotations from the printed sources, just the moves
(all of this assuming no one objects for copyright reasons) and
possibly use Quackle to do "annotations".
Anyway, I would also like to create a library of all these games for
use with Quackle. Then, even without web access, people could use
Quackle to play through the games.
Libraries of famous games are common in chess programs and I've
always wanted to see the same in a Scrabble program.
