What are the - if at all - bigger projects for improving KGS other than maintain it? Or is KGS basically set & done (would be alright with me too)? I still would die for a 3D-board and more board skins

My upcoming projects: #1 - Finish the current release. Mostly it will be extra support tools for admins. Also includes one feature for users, not a huge one. #2 - A better client for Android tablets. Right now the tablet client is very much like the phone client, which is kind of stupid because the phone client tries hard to leave out stuff in order to fit everything into a 4" screen. #3 - Move to new hardware. Probably at a new ISP. My current ISP has been bought twice since I first moved to them, and their prices are now astronomically higher than their competitors. #4 - Major change which I'd rather not talk all that much about. It does relate to what I've discussed before here, in that it is a big modernization of the client. However there is something else on the horizon that may or may not happen, and if it does, it will mean reworking this list a lot. We'll see. KGS is not done. But progress on it does move slowly. |

Great! KGS is the best Go Server, by far better than IGS, and I hope it won't die soon  .

Can you add some simple comfort features. In particular I'd like time and rank stamps on chat messages. It happens quite often that I don't know if some message has been written 1min or 2h ago. And ranks would be useful when somebody asks for help which happens often in channels like the KTL. |

Well, there are the "turn-based" servers. And some of the Windows clients for other servers occasionally work in wine. Although, personally, I usually don't even have wine installed on my Linux boxes, since I prefer native alternatives. The wine route really isn't very attractive. :/ |

I was amused that worked better for KGS. |

The only times I've had problems with Java on Linux was when I had accidentally installed the OpenJDK or whatever it is that *buntu ships, and that was being used rather than the official Sun version I manually installed. :/ |

Thank you for confirming that the Java rock wms, the esteemed and honourable knight in the rebellion against Tyrant Jobs, has finally started to crumble and that you plan on rewriting the client in C++/Objective-C so that finally there can be a native iOS/OSX client! Oh wait, you did not...

Well, wms has hinted that there might be a non-java web client some day. I think he said it would be a lot of work and probably wouldn't happen soon. I think I'll just start speculating about the future of KGS instead of what Apple does next. |

I'm pretty sure there is a contest somewhere about who can run most nested virtual environments Something along the lines of running an x86 emulator on OSX, booting Windows inside it, inside that a Cygwin session, running Wine, running the Windows version of DosBox, running Windows 3.11, running a Playstation emulator, running Linux, ...

I'd love for there to be an option to turn the byo-yomi warning sounds to 'five,four,three,two,one' rather than 'beep beep beep beep beep'. Think I would lose fewer games on time that way. |
