phpDiplomacy alpha released

Diplomacy is a popular board game in which you battle to control Europe, but this is no game of luck; to win you must be diplomatic and strategic, forming and breaking allegiances and bargains. phpDiplomacy takes the fight for Europe to the internet.
This is the first public release of phpDiplomacy intended for people interested in the project as opposed to end-users. The screenshot below gives a quick summary of the project's progress so far.
