Looks neat joe. :) We did a post announcement about it on our site at www.liberty3d.com

Awesome! Working on an update with some bug fixes and a few features requested. Hope to have version 1.0 out within a week or two.

Sound groovy! :)
Will there be source code for this as well in the tradition of LightNet?

[JoeJustice]

Yeah, I plan on making it open source, but not too sure how yet. Will use Launchpad.com or something, but I've never collaborated on software like that I'll have to figure out how it all works.

It's written in Lazarus/Free Pascal which is an open source Delphi-like IDE. Very easy to develop with, especially if you're familiar with Pascal.

We have been having a few discussions about this over at liberty for closed and open source projects and exactly how to do it.
It's an interesting problem, lots of choices out there and a lot of confusion.

Drop me an email and we can chat about that and maybe we can set you up somewhere on our servers with space and support.

Sounds like a plan. I'll get to you sometime soon.

I still have to clean up the code a bit before I want to publish it, lest everyone point and laugh at my terrible, hacked code. :p
