What I would like to do is get standards out there so not only Zillion
could interface with the CV site and others, but other people could create
programs that do the same also.  You have open standards/protocols, so the
maker of ChessV, Winboard and others, could then get their programs
working with the various game websites out there (CV, SDG, Richard's
PBEM).  Someone could also develop a specialized GUI just for this.  

Idea here is providing a way to be able to get more people on more
websites, and allow specialization in the development of different
components.  By working on the interface end, and allowing people to
create these, IAGO could then have a place where it could capture game
stats, and do record keeping for games.

This all starts by standardizing the way client applications interface
with websites.
