Would love to see more people here, discussions are just starting:

<div class="">I’ve posted several things. I prefer forums to
email. My message isn’t so overbearing.</div>

<div class="">Leonard, what are the archiving policies of the
site? What about long term maintenance and backup? Are you
using open software on the site? Thanks!</div>

Thanks for starting things off. I have been doing some serious
architectural thinking and will post some ideas when I can condense
them into words.<br>
<br>
Realism.com is my domain. I've had it almost 20 years now (since
1996). Tools is where I do my development, so (at least I think) it
is a perfect place for discussions. Backups are done every day,
maintenance is done by me. I may need to expand on that if there are
people interested and it becomes a big enough thing. The site is
powered by Drupal V7. V8 is available in beta, but not ready (nor
complete) for prime time.<br>
<br>
I'll look into other support, but since I've started this here and
like to leave it for a while. I am not opposed to moving the
discussion to an appropriate platform as needed.<br>

years, the Web3D Consortium has developed and maintained
a open, royalty free, ISO ratified and well documented
standardized markup language for transmitting and
displaying 3D content on the web called X3D. As 3D
content creation and use is now fast becoming
democratized by significant advances in software and
hardware, the Consortium wants to continue to evolve the
standard to protect content creators from vendor lock-in
and high value and archival 3D content from file format
obsolescence.<br class="">
