introduction email - Summer of Code - Donata/niphree

Hello,
My name is Donata Małecka and I'll be working on improvement of the
metaserver. As you know I'm the last lucky gsoc student. I hope that
will do something intresting for this project.

Some things about me:
I live in Poland and I'm on the 5th year of Computer Science at the
University of Wroclaw. I was working for few years in web developing
so I have some skills in PHP, Javascript and also in databases. I love
games (not only computer games) and I hope to work for some game
development company in the future. Also I'm interested in computer
graphics.

And some details about what I'm trying to do for this project:

1) Metaserver Statistics
- I'll add long term statistics to the metaserver. I want to record
all informations about games that could be interesting to You and show
this in graphs. I also want that metaserver could connect to game and
retrive more information that could be use for example to ...

2) ... create a starmap
I would like to create preview of a starmap. So player could se how
the universe look like before he start playing.

3) RSS Feed for new games, statistics
I also hope to add RSS Feeds to the metaserver. These feeds will
include information about new games and statistics.

4) Game matching with Jabber/Email notification
