Hello,
I haven't quoted everything discussed but I have read it all.
I'm playing chess for almost 14 years now, and been using chess software
starting with the earliest fritz and chessbase version; anyway, my point is,

Hi!
Living without IDs is IMHO only not worse than now.
DOI (Handle) is beyond the scope for the project. These are persistent
identifier schemes that work by a central DB that knows how to resolve the ID
to the unique resource in question. This stuff is all web-based and target is

Yes, and also we can't add a new menu item every engine, but it would

This is a good example of reasoning showing why we don't have correct chess

Hi,
The idea of extra engine windows already popped up before, somebody asking
for even 10 engines.
My consideration is that it would a good thing to avoid windows
proliferation, which implies to set an unique window embedding all engines.
