Hello again,

... ok, I didn't post any references to the project, I actually wanted to do 
this with the announcement tomorrow, but if you are really interested in the 
project, here is some information:

1) mailing list:
http://www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/list.fcgi?list_id=4383

2) website:
http://www.g-system.at  [it's "international"]

Please note that the homepage will fully be set up by tomorrow (or this 
evening).

3) subversion repository:
svn co svn://anonymous@svn.g-system.at/G

4) the demo:
if you build the whole project (see INSTALL), you get a gdemo file in the bin 
directory. If you DON'T want to install it in /usr/local, you should set the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to point to the lib directory of your checkout. The 
demo itself is currently only meant to test the core infrastructure of the 
system and currently doesn't have much to do with evolution... but it's nice 
to watch ;)  (IMO) also make sure you have enabled 3D acceleration, otherwise 
it will be slow.
For BSD users: I tried to get it running on FreeBSD (I have a FreeBSD, a ROCK 
Linux [my development machine] and a SuSE Linux at home for testing) but 
there is no screen output on FreeBSD, but it compiles ok, so development 
itself should work nicely on BSD systems.


If you actually want to find out if the project is something for you, I would 
suggest you sign up on the mailing list and say hello, also post in what area 
you would like to help (see "README" and "doc/G Internals") and what your 
skills are. As the project covers a wide range of technology (from grid 
computing to artificial intelligence and 3D programming, but also something 
like writing a nice KDE interface,...) I think it's likely that there is 
something for you. Just drop in on the mailing list and we will see.


Regards,
Raphael
