I agree, i meant the "why should i" link and friens to explain the role
of the boxes for the user and give a kinda "quick help" for them.

For organizing tournament games we need some kind of this tool, and
maybe it can be useful for any other purposes. What i did for it is very
basic yet, mainly good for showing the idea for it. (eg. if more user
will use it we can create tables where a player can find a player to
practice who has similar skill as he has, for next friday, and can send
a mail to him easily, or organizing  big party somewhere, or dunno :)

I'm glad if i can help a bit w/ it. I think Reinier and Paul do great job 
with the pubserver and civserver, and i understand they don't have time
for everything alone. I  enjoy playing w/ this page, and i think
with some help in the content management (convert old content, refresh them
if needed, write new articles, etc) we can have a new version of the homepage
in a short time. On the succesfull online game pages i saw the editors and
the webmaster  were different persons. I think we should involve players
and the visitors of the homepage as much as we can by giving them a friendly
UI, well structured content, and an easy to use web based admin area, where
 they can enter articles or news by just filling some forms and not having to 
access the php code. I know maintain the pubserver is sometimes a time consuming
 thing so i'd like make it  possible to share the work of making/editing the
 webpage among more people/editor/etc. 

Tournament is a great fun i think in multiplayer games, if we have a great
multiplayer game why not do it too? :) Note i don't wanna "overweight" online
players' role on the page, but i'd like to make the page a place 
which help the players and devs find each other easier. Maybe they can benefit
from each other's experience and ideas and maybe works.

bye, hirisov
