I decided that in addition to a Blender export script, import from 
Google Sketchup (or export from it to COD or XOD) would be really good. 
  It's very easy to learn, and some people interested in VOS might 
already know how to use it (it's the main app for creating objects to 
drop into Google Earth).  Is this a good idea?  I added it to the road

who already knows ruby.

I'll also make the changes you mentioned Lalo.

I don't know if Eris S. Raymond would think that it's a good idea to use
Google Sketchup because it's not free software but from this link it
looks like Sketchup can be run with wine:

Go ahead and update the wiki page (http://interreality.org/wiki/VosRoadmap).

Cool!

I think you're very much on spot on the grand total of features, but 
maybe I'd sort them differently :-)

It's not up to me, but I'd do a more testing r1 (r0?) earlier, maybe as 
soon as spring.  That would probably entail not having any networking, or 
access control, or chat, or persistence, or something else that would 
seem pretty essential; but it would allow interested people to play with 
the development model and tools, and even write content.

On the other hand, some things that are in your r2 will be there in r1 in 
summer, or even r0 in spring, because I'm working on them ;-) for one, 
hypervos is already alive and kicking in the form of an Apache mod_vos; 
I'm busy adding useful tools to that box, and I intend to have a mod_vos 
powered site up by the end of February, maybe mid-March if work rears its 
head too much.  And the first scripting language will be there a week 
after Peter adds marshaling (which language that will be depends greatly 
on my mood that week, though).

best,

Ack! Why didn't you email the list! I've been adding stuff to S4 hypervos (and 
intend to port them to
S5!) And I have many plans for further development (see HyperVosIdeas on the
wiki)

Tell me more about mod_vos.
