[1] I am not aware of any classification of "content creation modeling software" and "solid modeling software". Are you talking in their geometric representation (CSG v/s BREP). or have you something different to convey? Please convey context. > Simple content creation geometry editors are a dime a dozen.

Something similar to Maya and 3D studio. > The promise of your project is an interface that will specifically pertain to > solid modeling. True.

You will not cover all in your GSoC project, but we expect you will keep working, and other may also join in future to make a useful product. So you need to understand each and everything, and make noted for "To do". > I doubt it will be feasible to REMOVE the irrelevant features.

Version control is standard for application code, but databases havent caught up. So what steps can you take to put your SQL databases under version control? Why should you start doing it?
