Package: GNU bridge
System name: bridge
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

My project lets people play a game of contract bridge against the computer.  It 
exists, but is in a very primitive state -- the only UI is line-oriented text 
mode, and the playing and bidding algorithms are as primitive as they can be 
while still obeying the laws of contract bridge.

The source code probably follows the GNU coding standards fairly closely, but I 
have not \"audited\" it (I plan to soon).  It does, in any case, use automake 
and autoconf, and compiles and runs on a half-dozen Unix-like systems, and 
Windows.  It is written in C++.

My goals for putting the project on savannah are to allow the project to be 
accessible by people other than me, without having to allow those people login 
access to my home computer.  I\'d also appreciate regular backups, although I 
don\'t know if subversions provides that service.

I don\'t have a copy of the sources on a web site at the moment, but can easily 
post them to one if anybody wants to take a look.

My long-term goals are to get other developers to help me implement a decent 
UI, and decent algorithms for playing and bidding.  And it\'d be nice if people 
could play other humans on the network, instead of the computer.

For what it\'s worth, I started the process of registering a new project on 
SourceForge for this program, but have not completed that process; if the 
process does complete, I certainly will not have the program on both 
SourceForge and savannah.  I will probably make the choice based on which 
service seems more convenient to me.
