[Bf-committers] Collada importer/exporter kickout

[Knapp]

If you read that page you see that Chicken is the current way to do it
and that is with 2.4! I want (and will likely not get) something as
good or better but for 2.5. Sadly this does not seem to be happening
any time soon. Sure there are lots of hacks that work part way and
this is good and maybe Yabee will be the answer but Collada was
supposed to be the new great replacement for Chicken. I guess we will
have to wait and see. AS ton points out, Collada is turning out to be
a really just empty words. :-(
