I Look forward to trying this too.. Say do you guys know that the 3rd Annual
Biota conference has been paired with the OWorld special interest group's
first event and will be held at NASA Ames in California USA on Nov 4-5? This
is an event dedicated to open source virtual worlds, their applications and
developers. More will be forthcoming. You might want to consider showing this
world at the event. Sign up on the OWorld list for more news:

By the way, what you have done is nothing new, in fact Active Worlds has done
this effectively for over 4 years now. They are now closing in on 1 billion
polygons worth of objects in hundreds persistently shared and in-world avatar
updated worlds. Their system works well with low latency on 14.4 modems
supporting up to several thousand users simultaneously. Take a look at active
worlds at www.digitalspace.com/avatars under "active worlds".
Best to you all
