Rishabh, thank you very much for introducing yourself as well. I'd like to think that we pride ourselves on having open discussions welcome to anyone. Anyone else lurking? ;-)

I agree that leveraging a framework is in order, but caution that web frameworks change features and popularity MUCH more quickly than our backend. I would suggest not spending too much time evaluating which framework is the best but, rather, investing effort in a strong MVC design that will let you change frameworks later regardless of which "controller" is adopted. This way we can better adapt as needed. >> As this viewer is in it's very dawn, so we can >> nudge it's trajectory the way we want whereas doing that later would >> be a problem. What will matter the most in this early dawn is to write down where we're at and where we're going. I suggest someone take the initiative to add "Online Geometry" as a new development project to here with the details known to date: http://brlcad.org/wiki/Developer_Documents#Development_Projects This "project overview and roadmap" should probably begin as a heavily condensed (i.e., much more brief) version of Harmanpreet's GSoC project information that started the effort: http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Harman052/Proposal/WebInterface http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Harman052/GSoc2013/Logs (TODO file may also have useful information) Someone can then summarize even further here on the mailing list so we can all have a consistent view. >> Then after having done that, we can >> easily add a share button that would generate an embed code (a simple >> iframe) and a unique link so that users can share their cad models on >> their websites, blogs and social networking websites. There is enough work and seems to be enough interest that the work can be divided up into different objectives with different people focused on different aspects (such as the 3D viewer front-end implementation, the back-end integration, integration with social media, front-end usability, file-format support, requirements/planning, etc). > Earlier when OGV started lot of discussion about editing feature took > place.

Editing is obviously the next step and should be in the project roadmap so it can be discussed further when the time comes. Cheers!
