I'm happy to announce the creation of the Hearts for GNOME project.

Hearts for GNOME is an implementation of the classic card game for the 
GNOME desktop, featuring configurable rulesets and editable computer 
opponents to satisfy widely diverging playing styles. Hearts is Free 
Software, released under the GNU General Public License and should be 
able to run on any computer that can run the GNOME desktop.

Features:
* Various rulesets with configurable options
* Multiple computer opponents with differing styles of play
* Drag & drop adding of new opponents
* Easy creation and modification of opponents through the Lua scripting 
language

Requirements:
* GNOME 2
* libglade 2
* lua 5.0

Currently there is no official release, but the code in the Subversion 
repository should compile and run, giving you a good impression of the 
game so far.
