I just want to say though I am not up for the challenge of taking over on
this sub project I would be sad to see Collada support taken out of trunk.
I use it often also with skinning export. I know many users do and
eventhough I understand everyone's frustration I prefer the implementation
that is there now (which I use often) to no built-in version at all.

I am not disagreeing with any of the frustrating aspects of Collada which
you and others have mentioned.
Just saying personally I do use it and would very much like to keep it in.
With bugs and all :)

I have seen many other commercial tools with awful crappy .3ds importers
and exporters but bad as they were they didn't take them out
because people were still relying on them and using them. Despite the bugs
in them.


Cheers,

Morten.
