I didn't know you wanted to send our private mail exchange back onto the list,
with a new content for your replies.

Martin said was it at the end of February or early March that he was not able
to cope with all the submissions he was receiving from the whole world, which
is - when you imagine the workload it represents - pretty understandable,
Martin being just like us a human, and nearly the only person dealing with
those submissions.
He never stopped managing and enhancing the infrastructure behind, mapserver,
scenemodels, etc. There were quite a lot of exchanges here on the devel or in
private showing he is still there and working ;-)
Now with the webforms import, this workload has somewhat lowered, despite the
increase of 3D model submissions, so that's a good news for all.
Sphere having all the tools, data, and free CPU time (and Terrasync
infrastructure) still looks at the good place for scenery housing and terrain
generation and broadcast.

Why not, but that would be interesting as a spare resource, but while sphere is
there, I don't take the real interest of having two resources to work on,
maintain, update, apart from building a spare machine or testing, which would
be great. However I still think the most important for now is to have the
toolchain working and able to generate worldwide data. This is the top priority
and while this is not done, I, personally, won't take the time to focus on
something else.
It's already hard enough to make people work on a common infrastructure to
build the worldwide scenery.

^^. See the above line, I don't think there is any blame in any of my
sentences, I'm just trying to understand. Your private mail was more friendly.
