Re: Login issue with glChess

["Robert Ancell" <robert ancell gmail com>]

err... I guess you can guess my nationality then!

I've updated bugzilla with the three main bugs here:
564515 Improve GGZ login failure / disconnect messages
565374 Add GGZ profile editor
565402 Remove hardcoded en_NZ from GGZ protocol

I'll try and make some progress on these before 2.26, please add
patches if you can!

Thanks,
--Robert
