Readme from Sep 12, 2017 doesn't fit to to the remaining sources from Feb 11, 2017. Readme claims Magic bitboards, Principal variation search, and Null move pruning - which are not (yet) implemented. Classical approach, plain alpha-beta, no NMP, LMR etc. Eval is only material and tapered psq ;-)

Do you get hints from authors that there are new open source engines, or do you search on github for chess engines to find every garbage available?

I am serching new releases on GitHub, but try to contact the programmers via "issues" too. CCWiki and Chess Programming Wiki are two different things.
