How does Tim Mann feel about all this? It seems that a lot more people are
willing to help with this Arena project than with winboard. Let's not forget
Tim's important work. Of course, it is entirely possible that the two will
coexist and some people might like winboard better. But it is also possible that
Arena will become 100% winboard compatible, gets ICS support, and then extends
the protocol and gets loads of other features so that it just ends up being the
defacto choice of interface. Who knows...
