[Ogoglio-developers] moving forward..

[Michel D. <mic...@or...>]

Hello Ian, Trevor and the new age spaces dream team

A few new questions which would help me building my spaces (and probably the ones of other people someday) :

1- how do one has to implement a world which, like the real one, contains shadows, sunlight and moving clouds ?

2- voice comms: i seem to remember that currently Skype is supported- please could you tell how to do it ?

3- can we use the "embedded java-script" of Java 6 (I don't mean the Ogoglio java-script API) to call Ogoglio's Java API's ? If yes, how ?

4- what do you suggest as easiest way to show Powerpoint/Word/Excel/PDF documents inworld (ie on a 3D arbitrarily-chosen billboard) ?

5- is there any way to "share" such documents (like Wonderland enables, for instance .. ie multiple inworld users can edit documents simultaneously) ?

6- when a space becomes complex (but not 'heavy') and large, do you have any plan or suggestion to enable visitors to get a "map" where the landscape, the other users and themselves are pictured -- and then enabling users to click on a point to get teleported to these coordinates ?

7- (untested) when a ground/terrain is not flat but like a hill or mountain, will the bodies move up and down accordingly ?

8- i would like to try better understanding the full Ogogolio Java code (which does not have many inline comments) -- do you know of any existing free plugin or software which can e.g. make workflow diagrams of your full Java code, or something similar ?

Thanks in advance, as usual
