[Bf-committers] Blender online

[Moisés Bonilla]

First of all, thanks for the quick response.

Ton Roosendaal: That idea about the "normalized" file IO sounds good. Do
you think that maybe I could start thinking about the case when two people
starts with a empty scene and each one sends to the other simple commands
(Create cube at ..., Rotate object ..., etc)?

And no, although summer of code sounds interesting, I would prefer to "take
it easy" for now :). Anyway, I should start by proposing the project in the
wiki, isn't it?

Patrick Shirkey: Sorry, but I'm not sure I understood well. Do you speak
about 3D data sharing in real time or about retrieving a 3D file online?

Thanks!
