[Bf-taskforce25] Netbeans + Blender Source

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Some stats: The 2.5 list has 200 subscribers, the bf-committers list 
693, the projects.blender.org site has 7914 members. People with svn 
commit rights in Blender currently is 67 total.

It's a fact that many software projects get stuck in endless debates 
about "the way it should be done", and hardly ever about "the target we 
should accomplish". I'd rather focus on the latter, and pick the 
obvious and feasible way to get there.

And whatever way we pick, you'll always exclude people with different 
ideas. That's perfect, because it opens opportunities for competition, 
multiple teams creating what they consider to be best. So let's see.... 
where is that Java 3D tool project?
