qi.Goban

A product for storing, viewing and annotating Go game records in plone.

Project Description

qi.Goban is a product for Go players and clubs. It allows you to add games as content, view them, comment on them, and add variations.

The product is currently in use at the egoban site.

Features

• Import games from the standard go format sgf version 4
• Display ajax views of the game (using kss)
• Supports full annotations, letters, triangles, etc.
  
• Parse and add variations to games
• Export pdf diagrams (using sgf2dg)
• Automatic tagging according to the rank of the players

Requirements

• You will need to have libxml2 python bindings installed. This requirement will go away in the near future in favor for elementtree.
• In order to export pdf diagrams you will need to install sgf2dg which is available for all platforms.

Installation

Either grab the egg from pypi or get the compressed file, uncompress it in you lib/python directory and add the zcml entries.

The product has been running live for more than 2 years without any issues. This version is a rewrite for plone 3 and despite being fully functional, many things still remain to be improved. Since I (G. Gozadinos) don't currently have a lot of time to spend on this project, any help from plone developers who also play the game will be greatly appreciated;)
