This week CAP data database exceeded 13,000,000 unique positions.
Compressed form of this data takes 200MB in CA tree format.
Pure text data is something like 5 GB.

The process of putting and taking data is weel automatized.
Mini-model of CAP server and clients is presented in CA7.
But it seems to me that there are no enough people to participiate in the
project. If I am wrong and there are enough people that are ready to
participiate in the new stages of the project this should be discussed on this
forum or Dann site.
