Re: Poker Hand XML
[ QUOTE ]
how would this work? so we expect the converter to save all the pokerhand xml that it has converted? and allows our web app to access them? sounds cool~ i would be happy to contribute if i can

The idea behind web services is to allow remote access to proprietary services. In the context of the converter, you would be able to access a remote method which takes a site-specific hand history (e.g., Party Poker, Full Tilt, etc.) and it would return you the appropriate XML format. Potentially, a bi-directional converter could be offered as well.
On the other hand, since it's an open format and we're trying to facilitate widespread adoption, it's likely better to have an open library. Personally, I prefer C# for my development platform, so I'll be implementing a converter library in that. However, the bulk of the code can easily be generated automatically for other languages.
