Forgive my ignorance, but how does one then access the contents of those 
directories?  (I don't know php either to necessarily easily decipher their 
contents, but perhaps, given enough time, it wouldn't be too arduous.)  If 
special developer granted access is required, then never mind, I guess.

Can the files be fetched in an e-mail like the .h and .cpp files?  If so, 
how?  The implementation.notes help page doesn't seem to be current for 
graphical interfaces.

I'm curious because, for example, given that Chess, AvalancheChess, 
DoubleChess, OmegaChess, and RennChess have been done graphically, surely 
much of that work could be used to support games like QuickChess, 
Capablanca, and GrandChess.  And probably for BOChess and some of the other 
variants as well.

I'd assume MiniShogi shouldn't be too difficult to add graphically, since 
Shogi already has graphics.

Someone, perhaps like myself, might submit typed up changes for another 
with more development tools available to check over, test and 
implement.  Just looking for ways to possibly help out.  Not sure they'd be 
viable or not, so thanks for reading and don't waste too much time on what 
I'm saying.
