I get most of what you are saying. I was thinking of a simpler case... rather than using Scid as a kind of server (which would be pretty cool, but way beyond what I was thinking), provide a 1) format more suitable for embedding (e.g. smaller, with some ajax for displaying PGN, comments, and variations, etc) and 2) an export that allowed the end user to specify where the Javascript libraries were so one could specify, say, a prefix to indicate where they had them on their web site. This wouldn't work (at least easily) for those not hosting their own blogs or sites... but for others? Really, Flash is probably the most promising for this kind of use but the very few Flash tools I've found aren't very good. Not that I'm complaining, being unable to program such things for myself, they just aren't very flexible. I do appreciate the thoughts on Scid, though I realize my tangential wish was really just a kind of musing on something I don't expect anytime soon! c ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
