Quarry - Summary
Quarry is a multi-purpose GUI for different board games, at present Go, Amazons and Othello. It allows users to play against computer players (third-party programs, e.g. GNU Go) and other humans, view and edit game records.
Quarry supports SGF (Smart Game Format)—file format which is the standard for storing Go game records and can be used for many other games as well. It uses GTP (Go Text Protocol, which will be probably expanded to Game Text Protocol) to communicate with game-playing engines.

Quarry is approaching its first stable version, 0.2. Since I mostly lost interest in developing in C, most TODO items are postponed for the next development cycle. Versions 0.3+ will be developed in C++ and lots of code is already translated (privately.) The main reason is to ease development with cleaner and more maintainable code. Some slowdown is expected, but nothing drastical.

Quarry has finally reached the point where it can be called an SGF editor! Granted, it's not a very advanced editor yet, not even all wrinkles have been smoothened. Still, it should already be quite usable for annotating game records and other editorial stuff.
Give it a try!

We now have the first (it seems) freely available non-Go GTP engine. GRhino is a strong GPL'd Othello program by Kriang Lerdsuwanakij. It has its own GUI, but starting with version 0.14.0 also supports GTP and can be used with Quarry.
GRhino can be found at http://rhino.sourceforge.net/.
