Let me know when you get around to packaging the web interface.

4. How would you all feel if players could see one anothers details, like jabber id, email address, experience and so on? Only logged in players could do this, of course.

From experience I would make it a game option, or leave it off. Known players is something we have from creating games here in the forum. Its been a common request to have some easy way to do anonymous games. Some players feel too restricted by playing within their personal reputations. For instance, "Gandalf Parker" is much more likely to never break an alliance agreement than "PsudoNym" is.

So you have at worst three stale players. You could send them an ingame message and ask them to identify themselves or be killed.

In my notes about making a web game server (until you shot way ahead of me) I was considering creating a subdirectory for each game and making it an option to have stats and score file put there. Possibly other game info such as a way for players to converse and still maintain their login aliases.
