Hi David,

We did not get a response from you, so we deleted your project from the pending queue.

If you would still like to have your project hosted at Savannah, please register it again.

The re-registration URL found in our acknowledgment of your earlier registration will direct you to the proper location where you can re-register your project.

Regards,

Stephan

Hi David,

I am waiting for an answer from you.

If within one week I still do not get a reply, I will remove your project. You will still be able to register it again once you have the time to deal with the registration issues.

Are you still willing to host your project at Savannah? If not, please tell us - we don't bite, and it will make us gain time.

Regards,

Stephan

Hi David,

Again, I am sorry for the huge delay. Do you have any sourcecode ready by now?

I did wonder what had happened to it!

Yes, I still do want it hosted. I've been a bit busy myself, so have not had time to do this, so the delay was not a great cause for concern. But it would be nice.

Registration Details


  • Name: WITChessDB - Web Interface to ChessDB
  • System Name:  witchessdb
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License V2 or later





Description:

ChessDB http://chessdb.sourceforge.net/ is the most fully functional free chess database available. It is a serious competitor to commercial products such as ChessBase, Chess Assistant and similar chess databases. ChessDB runs on Windows, Linux, OS X, Solaris, FreeBSD and should run on most UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems.

WITChessDB provides a web-based interface to ChessDB, allowing an online database of chess games to be searched on the web, using a browser, in a similar way that is is possible to search games on Chessbases's web site http://www.chesslive.de/.

WITChessDB uses a PHP script to interface to the underlying command line tools that are used in ChessDB, in a very similar way as WITM (http://witm.sourceforge.net/) provides a web based interface to the command line tools in the commercial mathematics program Mathematica  http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/



Other Software Required:

ChessDB http://chessdb.sourceforge.net/ which is a free chess database licenced under the GNU General Public License (GPL).


Other Comments:

Currently there is no source code, hence I am providing no link. But since I am the main developer of ChessDB I know I can implement this is the same was I implemented WITM to provide a web interface to Mathematica.

I have used Sourceforge for both ChessDB and WITM, but have decided not to for WITChessDB, as I am fed up with the volume of ads on their web site, and the huge downtimes on their shell services.
