Great! Oystein, excellent job! (Just back from an amazing vacation - no 
mobile phone, no pc, only sun, ocean, wine, delicious food, friendly people 
and last but not least a cruel game called tavli ...).

If you have ideas, tips for improvments ... shoot. 

My two cents:

* a categorized position database (editable for users) including
  rollouts of gnubg
* Is it possible to organize a kind of grid for rollouts of opening
  moves up roll 3 or maybe even 4?
* tips and tricks (as you can see on
  http://sites.inka.de/daemonworld/Unix/bsd/index.html)
* a better documentation
* a python tutorial for using in gnubg
* fun stuff like cruel games, unbelievable luck stories ...
* a place for new board layouts (people love that)
* switching the mailing list (and probably divide into at least two
* [developers/users ??!])

you also may ask me. Oystein and I have all account information. The provider 
is located in Germany and unfortunately there are no help pages available in 
english language (e-mail, mailing-list, mysql etc ...). But we don't have to 
pay 
for it (it's a donation for open source projects), and that was one
reason for me registering gnubg.org there.

If you like a "gnubg.org" e-mail address ... want your own stuff
published there ... shoot again.

Oystein, we still need a so called "impressum" (a law in Germany
forces us to publish valid contact information). I will put my data
somewhere online at the weekend.

Ciao

Achim
