Hello Don,

first thank you again for providing cgos which is a great tool. I am looking 
forward to seeing the new server :-).

In my opinion, the versioning could be too complicated and not so useful 
because we can do versioning "by hand".

 The web page to provide the ability to remove entries from the display and 
other options would be great, but it can be a lot of work for you. Perhaps, a 
simpler way is to have an option to cgosGtp.tcl to remove the entries, like :

"./cgosGtp.tcl login passwd removeEntry"

Having the possibility to start the rating from an "expected rating" would be 
good. So that, the rating would converge more quickly. I don't know if we 
must think of a way to avoid cheating like "I expect a rating of 10000 :-)". 
Limiting the expected rating to a realistic range, and starting with a high 
K-factor would be sufficient.

Those points seem to me the most important, yet simple enough. Good luck with 
this work.
