Unfortunately, an emergency business trip has come up, so I'll be unable
to attend the nomikai or a pre-nomikai go playing/studying event.

Hopefully I'll be able to pull something together when I get back in
another week or so.

I've given Scott Stone the bug, at least.  He's become a regular on IGS.
If nothing else, we should consider having a get-together or training
session on IGS or NNGS.

I downloaded the latest NNGS source code.  It compiled fairly easily,
but I was missing the ranking stuff so I didn't actually complete the
compile/install to see if it ran okay.  Don't see any major technical
hurdles to running our own server if folks are sufficiently interested.
I think it would be fun to put up our own server, then hold 
training/demo matches to teach beginners the basics of the game.
