Would this be a good place to discuss 3D worlds, tools, servers and clients?? It would be a pretty huge environment to add to games for Fedora. But, it really needs to be done in some fashion, IMHO.
We, as Linux users need the numbers to present to these communities, in order to let our presence be known and to start getting some attention to the needs of folks like us, who refuse to use closed source solutions.
I've been collecting different 3D schemes from all over the net. It seems like everyone likes to have Linux represented for server sides, if for no other reason to take advantage of being license-less. But the client side goes to M$, more often than not, being closed source and for sale. So, I need to learn to create and maintain rpms. I'd like to voyage through the 3D landscape and find those that are willing to allow us to distribute the open-source 3D projects. What say the group?? Ric

I think it would be excellent to have someone package-up the various FOSS 3d world clients and servers. Even better if you also strat working on fixing license issues where these disallow us to distribute the server / client.

I'd be happy to give it a go, but I'll need support when I hit a snag from the group. I'm already working on something similar for our prison program, and it'll get me "content organized" to do this. Ric
