Hi Andi,

It's a slightly different model.

Both approaches are shader-based and leverage OSG PagedLOD.
Experimental Terrain Engine generated mesh at real-time -- converting an 
image into a mesh.
WS3.x will leverage Virtual Planet Builder to generate the mesh 
fragments as an offline process.   The trade-off exchanges storage space 
for very fast loading/rendering.

There is currently no information available, but now that the decision 
has been made I agree that a Wiki entry is needed to keep everyone 
informed and to build a team of collaborators to make it happen.

Scott
