Yep, I think we are in total agreement here :) The idea is a place to
develop scenery, so that
it can go back into flightgear, not have a separate download site. It's
mainly a space to focus and
co-ordinate development.
I've setup a small website to assist that collaboration, we'll see how
well it works. At the moment only
those Australians who responded to the initial development list e.mail
by Andrew I've sent them the link,
so that's about 3 of us :)
