Hi Robert,

thank you for your reply to my message. I think I didn't explained it well:
- I've sent two proposal not with intent to rewriting both games during GSoC,
because I know it's difficult to provide a complete game ( and also fairly bug-free ).

I simply listed two games I like to improve.
- As regards the maintenance issue you mentioned, from my point of view is rather
an opportunity to keep myself closer to the GNOME community, so I can improve
my game thanks to user's feedbacks =)

- I've just update my proposal, have a look when you want !!

http://socghop.appspot.com/student_proposal/show/google/gsoc2009/diego_casella/t123861383241

- If you think is not important to rewrite glChess, I'll focus my efforts on GnoMines.
Thank you for your advice about mibbit.com, see you on irc !!
Have a nice day,

Diego.

I would recommend submitting your proposal via Google's web app soon, as
the proposal period is almost over:

http://socghop.appspot.com/

If mentors leave comments on your submitted proposal in the web app, you
will be able to update it in response.

Best,
Sandy

Hi Diego,

A number of points here:
- I think you may have underestimated how much work is required to
rewrite an entire program.  Rewriting involves a significant amount of
time to become feature complete with the existing codebase and a much
longer longer time to find all the new bugs that will have been
introduced.
- By producing a new codebase integration of these changes will be
like adding a new game to GNOME Games.  You will be the only person
with an in-depth knowledge of the code and thus there will be a
maintenance issue to overcome.  (You should expect this code to be
maintained/maintainable for ~5 years).
- I'd like to see some more details regarding the new functionality
that clutter will give these games.  While GNOME Games is pursuing a
strategy of moving to clutter change for change sake is not
necessarily good.  Please indicate what new effects will be added.
- There is no requirement to rewrite glChess in C - all the
functionality you are considering is available in Python through
bindings.
- If you want to use IRC from University I recommed using mibbit.com
which is a web-based IRC client.

Good luck!
