This is Jon's "personal" address for FG, as far as I know. A few 3D modellers
told me they sent their 3D models to this address over the last 3 months or so,
without answer, so I guess he's not watching it anymore. The 3D model webforms
now allow for multiple adresses to be used, and that's the case for now. If I
or Martin quit FG one day, then there can be some people updating the recipient
adresses to take the work further.

As I told in my latest email, the current form was made in urgency because for
a few months nobody was able to put anymore 3D model in the database. Now we've
been receiving over 50 of them by this mean over the 15 latest days. With or
without textures, with or without XML, etc.
Multiple textures is a currently handled feature. Now, effects, shaders, and
multiple XML are to be added on the to-do list for a future enhancement. I
don't know when this can be added, as we also have some other fixes and plans
for the near future, noticeably on the Terragear side and on the scenery web
overall design. However, be sure I understand the need. However we'll have to
think on how to implement it into our current database as this would be quite
experimental for now.

It'll be hard to parse and test any number of files formats/extensions.
Currently for 3D models we have approximately 30 to 40 tests (on the thumbnail,
the textures, the XML, the AC3D...) running for each submission, and a visual
check, to make sure that what is committed is right and not putting into danger
our shared infrastructure. Don't know how we would cope with a infinite number
of format.
