uliGo status

uliGo is a program to practice solving go problems. As far as I know it was the first program "on the market" with this specific aim, and with the feature of randomly rotating/mirroring the problem (and possibly switching the colors), to improve the training effect.

While it is still quite popular, judging from the access statistics of the uliGo pages, it has not been updated for a while, and I must admit that it does not have a very high priority for me right now (this is one of the reasons I have not moved the bug tracker to the new site). If there is somebody out there willing to become the new maintainer of uliGo, I would be glad to pass on this project.

For now, let me point you to two of the alternatives that have come up in the meantime: Drago (Windows only), and gogrinder (Java, hence cross platform). Of course, there also is goproblems.com where you can do go problems online.

If you want someone else to pick up the project, you could put the source on sourceforge.

I just downloaded uliGo and I really like it. I have a pretty strong understanding of python, although I know very little about Tkinter. I'd be interested in helping out / taking over if you can't find anyone else. My email is thn at cs.utexas.edu

I am the new maintainer of the Debian package. I am going to do improvements here and there. You are welcome to use my changes in the official code as well. However, I am reluctant to take over the project as is since I don't want dealing with any Windows related issues. You can reach me at andel@ifi.uzh.ch .
