Re: Webpage to track scenario results

[Tony Christney <tchristney@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

If we are going to have a secondary CVS repository, would it be
at all possible to switch to something like subversion? The file
system versioning is worth the price of admission, IMO.

Also, has Jon T. been asked his opinion of a web-based Server?
I know that in the past he was not receptive, but I'm thinking of
something basically just like an email game, but the Server
waits for game data on a socket instead of a mail folder.

Thirdly, it may be possible to create a set of XLST transforms
to create HTML and/or SVG graphics from XML game files. Any takers?
