There are four people I know of who have done fairly substantial work with
OpenSim's physics engines:
- MW (wrote the original interfaces)
- Teravus (made ODE 'not suck' ... as much)
- Jeff Ames (wrote the MICA one)
- Leon Zhu (works for me, did some substantial work on the BulletX
plugin, but is currently a bit busy to field questions on this list)
