This new score system will be included in the .enigmarc.xml file? (currently 
enigmarc3.xml)
If so, it seems that you should be able to write the scores to that file 
now, but continue reading from
enigmarc and .enigmarc2. You could even continue to write the scores to 
enigmarc2 so that the older
trunk versions still work.

Oh, I had assumed the use of the slash in the file name inside .enigmarc was 
intentional.
Now when i thing about it, that does not make sense.

Perhaps a good idea then would be to provide a script to strip foldernames 
from .enigmarc2, to be used by any testers
after the index name feilds are added, to avoid loosing scores from recent 
builds.


On a somewhat related note: The message on the Enigma homepage indicating 
that Enigma development is slow is not exactly true anymore.
Some fairly substancial changes have occured over the last three months. 
Perhaps that message should come down.


Also on one last note, it would still be nice to do something with 
enigma-game.org. At the very least, put up a redirect to the game's current 
hompage.
