Yes, it is. I picked the name from the download in the Members section
of uni-verse.org, where it's called "Deliverable Report D4.2 - High
Performance Rendering Client". I now see that's the title of the *report*,
and not the binary, which is called OSG Renderer ... Not sure what is the
most proper name, but of course I can change it into just plain OSG
Renderer.

That's a point, I guess. Removed.

Hm ... Again, I guess that's true, the dynamic mesh generation is a pre-
existing part of Necro3D that just gets Verse-ified by the gateway be-
tween the two. Removed the entire Misc category, added Necro3D application
support item.

That's where I added it.

Hm ... Those are not really bindings, but perhaps they should go in there
anyway. I guess Ample is more than a binding, too.

Absolutely true. I don't think I have much of an opinion, all we can do
is link the page(s) together, as needed. It's a shame we don't have the
wiki engine running at wiki.uni-verse.org or similar, but according to Ton
that wasn't feasible, so ... At least we have a wiki. Other ideas?

No idea. "People" in general I don't think care or know much about our
deliverable numbers, which is why I didn't include them in the titles for
the pages on the wiki.

Good question. I don't know, I think it must be allowed to depend on the
application in question. Simple Renderer is small, and in part defined by
its limitations, which is why the original text includes such a section.

It might not make a lot of sense in the context of some other application.

Thanks for the feedback.
