Kaya has now reached a point where it has a consistent, if limited, set of features, which make it quite usable already in many ways, like for playing casually on FICS, or for playing chess or shogi against a computer opponent.

Any feedback will be warmly welcomed, as well as contributions of every sort (new themes or plugins, bug reports, patches…).

The website is up!

Kaya has now a website. Kudos to github for providing gh-pages.
