One problem with playing chess on the internet is it's impersonal. You may play a lot of games, but it's hard to make friends because you only find them again by chance. It would be nice to have the following commands/options:
1. addfriend : adds someone to your friends list.
2. acceptfriend: accepts a friend invitation.
3. removefriend: removes someone from the friends list.
4. play friends 2 12: a way to offer a game to friends.
5. pingfriends : shows which friends are signed in
I understand this is a major feature and perhaps something similar already exists. If so, please enlighten me. However, if it doesn't exist, I think a lot of people would appreciate being able to more easily find people they've played before.
I think I just tried to log a server-side feature against a client-side application. Can someone point me to the appropriate project to file this enhancement against. If the server is implemented in java, I'd be happy to implement.
