Although it would be of far greater value if such an exchange took place in public, e.g. on this list. VPRI seems really bad at actually getting publicity for its work: much of the most interesting stuff, like FONC's COLA/idst, isn't even widely available in Linux distributions, or even packaged as source from an obvious place, which is pretty much the minimum requirement for getting the attention of all but the determined and/or really interested. There isn't even a "software" link on the home page of vpri.org, and the projects directly linked to on the "Our work" page did not originate at VPRI (Squeak Etoys & Croquet). It takes another two clicks to get to the FONC wiki, from which the closest thing to code is a link to the SVN repo. Sigh... (Observation: although I quickly checked what I wrote above, it may not be 100% accurate. It doesn't matter: almost no-one I talk to has heard of any of this stuff.) -- http://rrt.sc3d.org _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
