Hello,
Just to separate the topics, I am posting here to promote the project of
building a free central repository of games. Hence the name, "centriscid",
which is the only prefix my word finder can give me to "scid" [1]. It is a
family of fish, as one can find here [2]. The Aeoliscus strigatus and the
Centricus scutatus (two generae of the family) live near Singapore, which
may be near New Zealand enough to pay lip service to Shane.
Here are very important concerns, in the words of Alexander :
Especially taking care about doublette games, crosschecking that all

I think this idea of predefined index needs exploration. Suppose that these
index are done. What we would need then is a way to producing an index out
right of Scid. Something like a report or a tournament table, e.g. in
XHTML, with the description of the database, and some details about the
games : checked, to verify, dubious, incomplete, missing, etc.
In saying this I am forwarding a concern by a friend of mine, who would wish
this facility. This guy spends at least five hours per day with Scid and
likes it very much. But he's away from the Internet most of the time, so he
asked me a while ago to talk about that. I think this topic fits nicely
into the project of building a central repository.
Have fun with the idea,
B
