John, are you (Ubi Soft) planning to make the EGDB specs/interface public, so
that other engines (like mine) will be able to use them directly (ala the
Nalimov ones)?

Mine is not a winboard engine, so I can't use them via the built in winboard
interface. Of course making my engine winboard compatible would give other
benefits, but I'm very interested in the EGDB details anyway.
