Go Commentary System
I’m thinking about designing an online “Go Commentary System.” My current requirements are: 1) PHP based. Javascript controls (I want to keep Java out of this… I have PHP and SQL access on this server). 2) SQL or File based. I would prefer keeping it in mySQL, but this may complicate things… 3) NO Variations allowed… it would make the file system messy if people were allowed to add variations, and it would make the coding messy as well! Only the 1st variation will be used when parsing an SGF. 4) Only your own comments can be modified… I want this to be like a wiki system where everyone can edit a node’s comments, but I do want sign-ins and changes only to your own comments. (This eliminates the need for backups as are needed with the wiki system). 5) SGF output… having these commented files outputtable is a necessity. This should be fairly easy since variations are nonexistant. If anyone can think of any other requirements, or can help with some structure and code snippits that would be very helpful!
