I realize that the implementation of verse in blender is not complete,  
but it seems to make sense for this application. I might be wrong  
about that, but it seems a good fit to me. The "main author" of verse,  
Eskil, is working on LOVE these days, which uses verse extensively.  
(See: http://www.quelsolaar.com/).

Verse was built for the collaborative manipulation of 3D data in real- 
time, and may fit your project. Verse has attracted significant  
attention lately by the game community, because Eskil gave a talk and  
demo of LOVE at this year's GDC.

See: http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/verse-blender/
And: http://verse.blender.org/
And: http://www.uni-verse.org/

The links at the bottom of that page are particularly useful on the  
context and history of verse.

There is a #verse channel on freenode as well (though it is very quiet  
these days).

Thanks.

have a day.yad
