The Croquet Project
Saw this linked in a comment on Scoble’s blog (who says comments aren’t valuable?) the Croquet Project
The Croquet project is an effort to develop a new open source computer operating system built from the ground up to enable deep collaboration between teams of users. To do this, the project seeks to define and develop a system is focused on the simulation and communication of complex ideas. We call this “communication enhancement” - the direct extension of the abilities of humans to develop, understand, and describe even the most complex simulations. Croquet enables this communication by acting as the equivalent of a broadband conferencing system built on top of a 3D user interface and a peer-to-peer network architecture.
This sounds interesting. Do any readers or others in our VTOR group know much more about this project? There are whitepapers, FAQ and more on the project. Kind of a curious name for a MMO which they are building as an Operating System.
