We (Matrix) have been tracking Cobalt/Croquet on and off since the original Croquet project. Honestly, looking at http://www.opencobalt.net/ http://www.opencobalt.net/, things look pretty dead currently though - no news updates since 2010? Should we be looking somewhere else? To be clear: Matrix tries to be pragmatic above all else, and right now we're just saying "hey, use Matrix for open comms in VR/AR" (a bit like Croquet advocated XMPP back in the day). There is nothing stopping one from using Matrix to add comms into the Croquet metaverse however, and if it's alive and well I'd really hope that someone would try the experiment :)

I agree it looks pretty dead, but a big bag of old, existing code still does more than a project in the idea stage :) > Should we be looking somewhere else? I'm not involved in OpenCobalt, I'm just someone who's also been following it for years. One of its major problems seems to be fragmentation: as far as I can tell, the descendents include: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenQwaq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenQwaq http://www.3dicc.com http://www.3dicc.com https://www.krestianstvo.org https://www.krestianstvo.org https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_world_framework https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_world_framework Maybe there's something salvagable amongst all this?
