I have an interest (can put IAGO in there if you want) of seeing a functioning taxonomy developed, that would help assist in the promoting of chess variants, and setting up meaningful tournaments.  I would personally be very much in favor of a monster revamp and gutting of the internals of the 'IAGO Chess System' if it mean the variant community would get behind it.  

IAGO Chess System (aka IAGO Chess) is attempt 1.0 at this.  It does propose that what it become be done by consensus of a community, rather than some individual trying to be a genius.  To that end, I welcome a uniformed set of mutators, pieces (with standardized names and appearances), formations and whatever else people want to add, be added to the System, and the system continue to evolve.

Anyhow, just my 2 cents...
