It might be useful to have a wiki or other kind of collaborative
environment associated with VPython. Mailing lists are certainly very
good, but there's something to be said for a place that feels more
permanent and more collaborative, and where people could post solutions
to problems they've encountered, etc.
Is there someone(s) in the VPython community with the expertise to set
up something of this kind? I'm guessing that there are free hosting
possibilities, or maybe it could be somehow part of the VPython site. I
myself don't feel competent to select the right kind of vehicle nor set
it up.
I'll take this opportunity to say that David Scherer and I are in what
feels like the final throes of squashing the last remaining major bugs
before offering a beta Visual 4.0 that, while likely to be pretty solid,
should get some testing from the user community before being promoted to
production status. We'll want feedback not only on bugs but also on
design decisions. I'm excited about this new version and eager to get it
out to you.
