[x3d-public] Facebook group was: Web3D/X3D zoom channel

[GL]

In that line of thoughts, I like to mention about the Web3D user operated support group that we have on Facebook for about 1-1/2 year. Many here already know, but since a formal announcement was never made, I suspect more Web3D enthusiasts would like to join and help spread the word about X3D. We touch on subjects that may be considered out-of-scope for the mailing list, but we also see examples of Web3D scene and world constructions, videos and topics related to 3D and VR in general, etc.

P.S. Not an official Web3D Consortium group.
