[FIDE photo base]

Though the link did not make it to the website yet (its not
pressing anyway) for those of you who want to use this photo
base Pascal already put it here (thanks again):

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26963

in the "file release" section.

Contents is "all I can get from FIDE", approx 5300
individual photos. Not all are high quality (FIDE seems to
use some webcams sometimes) but by far the most of them are
pretty good in fact. The file needs approximately 53MB on
your disk. (Therefore, it is probably better suited in
.../share/scid than in $HOME/.scid for each user ;)

I'll try to keep this base up to date, but do not expect a
"monthly supplement".

Also, if you've other free sources we can use for the
project, please let me know. I've some infrastructure set up
on my box for the "easy" generation of such bases. Easy
means a bunch of perl scripts using a bunch of tools like
Image Magick that can be adopted to other inputs.
Unfortunately, its not that straight forward to be suitable
for "general public use".
