Re: [gnugo-devel] Interested in GNU GO development

[bump]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by pair program, but I'm
in the Bay Area and am a GNU Go maintainer. I'm fairly busy
these days with non-GNU Go responsibilities but would be
happy to try to help you.

In my experience, there is no real need for collaborators
to be geographically close. I have not met most of the
people who work on GNU Go in person.

If you contribute code we would ask you to sign a copyright
assignment to the FSF. Are you willing to do that?

One thing that I think needs to get done is to implement persistent
caching of semeai results so we can increase the semeai node
limits. If you look in the function owl_attack() in owl.c you will
see a call to search_persistent_owl_cache().  There is no
corresponding call from the function owl_analyze_semeai().

Other people might have other projects to suggest.
