Release Update
It has been decided to FREEZE the database at 15,000 entries (although the games in Michael's to-add folder are many more and still keep coming), and concentrate in fine-tunning the entries in order to finally release GB V2 -- because if we continue to constantly add games we won't release anything this year either! (Games over the 15.000 mark will be covered after the initial release, in our regular GBV2 updates.)
As a result, the remaining tasks become:

1. Add games untill the 15.000 barrier is reached.
2. convert DB to new format (takes some weeks)
3. prepare files for the release (takes some weeks)

Inbetween we'll hopefully finish the frontend & website. As always, we'll keep you informed of our progress...

We have taken onboard a new member, Steven Feurer who kindly offered his services (and a lot of his free time) when he read our 'Wanted Web Developer' ad a few weeks back. You can take a look at Steven's work by visiting his site at Feurer.org. -- A great 'THANK YOU' to all who have responded to our plea and contacted James!
