Thanks!

Sure, contributions are welcome. If there's anything on the To Do list 
that you would like to tackle, or you have your own ideas of things that 
could be improved - the source code is out there, and if there are any 
questions, I'm here (or on the devel list) to answer.

Really? Can you give me some examples? I don't think I know of any...

Yes, that's because - to the best of my knowledge - there aren't any. :) 
I've heard from a lot of people who have started some projects using 
Pipmak, or at least considered it, but as far as I know none of them 
have published anything yet.

However, I know of the following two small things:

- Urs Holzer, regular contributor on this list, once created a "fully 
animated cube": <http://www.andonyar.com/rec/2006-03/pipmakfullanimation/>

- Gumgo from MYSTcommunity 
<http://www.mystcommunity.com/board/index.php?showuser=2619> once made a 
nice project called "Fortress Exploration", but he didn't publish it 
(for lack of webspace, IIRC). If you ask him, he'll maybe send it to 
you. (The version I have here needs some small adjustments to work in 
current versions of Pipmak, as it was made in 0.1.x times.)

I actually plan to do this once some nice projects come out. So far, I 
only have Urs' cube, and somehow so far this alone hasn't provided 
enough motivation for me to actually go and add that page...

Nice! There's something weird about the perspective in the panoramas, 
though - it seems that some lines that should be straight appear curved?

....sorry, the site is only in italian!)

No big problem - I understand written Italian fairly well, even though 
I've never learned it.
