  • Bridge Software Developers Mailing List

    A group for anyone interested in writing software for bridge. This could include playing, facilitating online play, scoring, analysis, training or education, player rating, storing results locally or in the cloud, or any of a multitude of things.

    There are no restrictions on membership, but the content will likely be of interest only to software developers who play bridge.
