Projects for FICS: Big projects: 1. Set up commands for examine mode; allow examiners to add or remove pieces to or from a position. Also allow users to clear the board except for kings. 2. Network many servers together. Medium projects: 3. Rank information in RAM. UpdateRank takes too long. Smaller projects: 4. Channel names (like "admin channel") instead of channel numbers ("channel 0"). If we do this, I think we could seriously consider eliminating the "shout" and "it" commands. 5. Draw offers and aborts for adjourned games. 6. On line registration. I don't see any reason not to allow this now that we also have autoreg by e-mail. 7. Apparently some limits are not checked; MAX_CHANNEL, MAX_ALIAS, probably some others as well. We should fix this. Well, these are my immediate thoughts; feel free to add your own, or to program these. [Last modified: November 16, 1995 -- hersco]
