First, Game Courier is not an open source project by the users for the
users. It is my own creation, built up from scratch by myself, with a
little bit of assistance from some other editors. It enables open
development of presets by anyone who cares to make them, but that's all
that is open about it. Like you can use a word processor to write a novel
without being able to program the word processor, you can use Game Courier
to develop games without being able to program Game Courier.

Second, I have no plans to add point and click capability to Game Courier.
Entering moves by notation is more versatile than moving pieces with a
mouse, and it will work with any browser. It also helps a player think
about his move more carefully and helps safeguard against making a
mistake. Besides all that, I have no experience programming Java, and I'm
not so excited about the idea of point and click capability to think it is
worth my time and effort to try to implement it.
