Subject: Re: CCC idea - different types of posts

Go up one level in this thread


I would like there to be a category called "conceptual" where people can discuss
ideas for building chess software at the ideas level, without having to going to
the nitty gritty details that programmers like.

Since the category sometimes changes within a thread, perhaps the posts could be
colour coded according to category?
