Re: [Openvrml-develop] Status update

I hear this a lot...

Its what the vrml repository should had been. But since its now  repository of
nothing.....
I'm working to make lot of freely available vrml content so I naturally support
that idea. A gnu site for model will help vrml content development. We know
there is lot of models available outhere but its more often difficult to find
what you need and where to find it so a centralized place where you find
everything that could be find will be nice - and desserve its own thread and
group.
I dont think development of tools is separated from development of content, but
actually, content have been neglected. There is many things in "model
development" that can be standardized and the group could indentifie most
needed stuff or things that are needed commonly in a repetitive way and give
focus to develop those model  most efficiently possible. The average user will
then be able to fetch the repository and use things that work out of the box
adding their own stuff, and if good, contribute too. Example of a very common
problems that come on and on in comp.lang.vrml is how to do a HUD. HUD is your
container for UI object but done on a site by site basis prevent the reuse of
UI stuff - or at least, make it more difficult. A common HUD alleviate the
problem by providing a common interface to UI stuff facilitating navigation
from site to site. Of course there is all common objects too like cars, planes,
building, etc... with the same objective of providing accurate and efficient
models to the community.
I'm planning to release a 10 gig DVD of free vrml content but once released,
the problem is to find a place where most people would be able to find and
fetch it. I'll put on the repository if there is place.
