Hi, The list you mentioned does exist but is not used a great deal. You can find it on j3d.org. They also have some terrain generation code there that you might find useful.
I am generating terrain from lat/lon/alt data. The basic approach I have taken so far is: Using a goetransforms libary I map the lat/lon data into 3d xyz coords. The result is a grid of xyz data. I then convert this into a textured TriangleStripArray. So far this is working well. The real issues arise when creating a LOD system. Depending on what you are doing you may find the ROAM code in j3d.org useful. Hope this is of some help.
