Package: GmOne
System name: gmone
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

My goal is to write a cross-platform 3D authoring application. The first step 
will be to have a straightforward modeling environment that can be used to 
create and render 3D designs. The second step will be to make this environment 
multi-user (client/server), so that two or more people can work on the design 
simultaneously and interactively. The third step would be to write a client 
application more geared toward browsing and manipulation rather than authoring 
[think Quake-like]. The fourth step will be to put a more powerful back end on 
the server [note that this is a part of the design from day one]. The fifth and 
later steps will depend on the uses people come up with after the third step is 
underway.

I am a former member of the Maya team at Alias/Wavefront and feel I have the 
technical expertise to design the infrastructure for this project. I have 
sufficient skills in 3D to get the basic tools working [primitives, curves, 
NURB surfaces], but later I will need help in the higher-level tools 
[filleting, lofting, bevelling, etc].

Note that this project is being developed completely under the GPL, and in fact 
the name of the project has always implied close ties with the goals of the 
Free Software Foundation. \"GmOne\" stands for \"Gnu Modeller One\". Will there 
be a GmTwo? I have no idea. :-)
