Myself and sanealex were in the client today, decided to have a game, and discovered we had the option of continuing an old game. Initially neither of us had remembered that it even existed, let alone what the state of the game was, and this was only after probably a fortnight - after a month or two it could be really difficult. So I thought to myself, can we have some method of sumamrising the game in the "accpet challenge/resume game" popup window? This could be as simple as who's playing which side, and how many trolls and dwarfs are left, tho an image would be good too.
As I say, one for the bottom of the 2do list, but I thought I'd bring it up before I forgot.

That definitely would be useful, like the sound of that.

The problem with that (although it would probably be a good feature) is that I don't think the thud server stores records of games in the same way that thudboard does, so the two wouldn't be able to interact without some sort of translator between the two - which might well be a doable project* but would take a fair bit of time. I'm sure Dewi will correct me on this if I'm wrong, but that's how I understand the situation.

*perhaps even for someone with the near-complete lack of programming skill that I have - I'd certainly have a look if I knew the two languages, tho it may be too much for me

export from/to the two is planned, but needs to come after I change the savegame format in the database, otherwise I'd be writing the util twice
