Chris Bannister has previously asked if there was interest in that matter: http://www.mail-archive.com/scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06062.html So +1 to that suggestion. If that is not possible in Scid, let it be noted that two Scid's siblings, [ChessX] and [Jose], have a SQL back end. [Jose] (http://jose-chess.sourceforge.net) [ChessX] (http://chessx.sourceforge.net) ChessX is quite solid and the ability to simply copy-paste a PGN game is quite handy. *** Looking at ChessX's site, I will observe two things: First, the developers thought of providing silly nicknames to their releases... :-P Second, the developers provided a set of pages for developers. In the introductory page, we can see their hall of fame, where I seem to recognize Marius' name. There is this interesting list of norms: Compilation; Translation; Task List; Standards; SVN; Creating release *** > I would like to be able to have a feature where a database can be > created/written as a book, then exported to Latex as such. I'd +1 the overall idea, as I believe that Scid is for me a *bookmaker*. So I would propose myself that we include PGN4web's powerful CSS tool: http://pgn4web.casaschi.net Exporting to HTML would make a lot of sense if I could create websites like these. As an aside, I will note that Jose also provides a servlet, which is something I find interesting, although I've not tried it. *** Speaking of bookmaking, improving the ability to create opening books for engines might be needed. More so if Scid is going to have functionalities for engine aficionados. *** The most urgent matter would seem to be to use the tracking devices (bugs, help, patches, etc.) SF provides. If these pages are not being monitored, they should be closed down. If these pages are closed down, we should try to use another kind of list. It would be easier for developers to submit patches if we asked them to look at a bug list. It would be easier for testers to report issues. It would be easier for everyone, in my opinion, even with a centralized organisation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
