queenb**ch writes: "A new open source development is roaming the net. They've found a home over at BuildaWorld.net. They're taking the Delta3D engine and turning it into something a bit more user friendly and ready to build a game with. It's getting the networking components added back in along with avatar inventory and a user interface. That should make it ready for a RPG or FPS game. Their "mission statement" and "purpose" is as follows... Now a small bird told me that they're getting close to releasing the network code and that the avartar inventory and UI won't be far behind it.

Mission Statement
We are an alliance of smaller teams that are working to build a rules-independent world-independent Free Software-licensed game engine that we can share.
Purpose
Our purpose is for several teams to come together to create tools that let you build your own virtual world, roleplaying game, or whatever else you can imagine. Our purpose is to create a game engine and at least one "reference world."
1 — The license must permit anyone to use, modify, and distribute work based on our products.
2 — All decisions will be made by participating teams, not by a few individuals.
3 — Creation, administration, and maintenance of the demonstration shards will be shared by participating teams.
4 — The reference world will demonstrate that the game engine functions.
5 — The reference world will serve as a working "HOWTO" with examples of some basic tasks."
