Even though you are not subscribed, mail from you to address@hidden or
address@hidden will get through. It will reach the list a bit more 
slowly than if you subscribed because the list is spam filtered and moderated.

You would need both the NNGS server code and gnugoclient. Gnugoclient
requires Pike.

There are two versions of the NNGS server source. One was hacked
on extensively by Adriaan van Kessel and Nils Lohner. This is not
the version that is running on NNGS. I'm not sure whether any
of the NNGS clones are running this code or not. But it might be 
the best place to start.

I think you must look in the relevant tarballs for documentation.
There is brief documentation in the gnugoclient-2.0 tarball.

I'd say download nngs-1.1.14 from Sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nngs/

and see if you can get the server running. Then try to get 
gnugoclient-2.0 running.
