[Bf-committers] Collada

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

I've last met with Remi last january, in Amsterdam on a Khronos event.  
He was of course very curious to know if we already found a developer  
for Collada-Blender suppport.
I told him we depend on the 'open source dynamics', we have to wait for  
the need to grow in our user/developer community to start working on  
such topics. Can't do corporate decisions you know. :)

But I've not been contacted bt Remi on his work. I hope Ignacio can act  
as our intermediate with the Collada project on this?
