Further discussion is needed, both on the x3d list and at the retreat. Teleconference scheduled for Friday September 10 to discuss landing the community source for blaxxun's Contact browser. Task group chair Alan Hudson has the code compiling on his machine. Holger Grahn of blaxxun is making updates to the code to minimize possible splits in the initial tree. Metrolink is preparing to host the master version and support bug tracking.
Additional efforts continue to make the source ready for initial public access and use.
Interested users and coders can contact Rick Goldberg . Aaron Walsh and the Universal Media Working Group spoke to us about their new URN proposal. The IETF's URN group has declared this long-running specification work finished. In most ways, URNs can be used like URLs except that, when fetched, URN-aware browsers should fetch them from the closest source. This is a great suggestion.
