Re: [pbmserv] popularity of games

[Morat <morat@bluedino.net>]

Actually, nice serendipity (synchronicity?) that this issue comes up  
now.  About a year ago (my how time flies) I released an initial  
version of a web site that would display statistics about the games  
on Richard's server (player ratings, number of games played, etc.)  
and several of you sent me some good feedback.

Well, I've finally had some time to revise things and am pretty close  
to releasing the new version.  I've completely reworked how the  
statistics are compiled and have something that I think is a little  
more robust.  One thing I would like is to include info about as much  
past history as possible (i.e. as many game records from completed  
games as possible).  Given Richard's post (and my personal bias :) I  
think I'll start out ignoring backgammon.

Anyway, let me know if you want more details or want me to keep you  
up to date (we can do this off-list) and I'll send out an  
announcement when I'm ready for the unveiling.
