a planet site for webgl

October 17, 2009 in 3D, WebGL | 8 comments

I’ve put up a planet site for WebGL here:

http://planet-webgl.org

It has a short list of people who have been hacking on WebGL support in browsers and the small set of people who have been doing experiments and starting to build tutorials around the technology, even before it hits mainstream browsers. Right now it carries WebGL-specific feeds from Vlad Vukicevic, Benjamin DeLillo, Jim Pick, the wonderful Learning WebGL site, Mark Steele, Peter Nitsch and the hacks.mozilla.org site, where we often carry technical announcements about technology in Firefox.

If you know of someone else who should be on the site, let me know. My contact information is in the sidebar on the planet-webgl site.

I set it up and just put it out there in a few hours so it needs some theme love – a new icon and a decent GL-inspired theme would be great, honestly. If someone has the time and the will to do this work I would love them forever and ever.

    Nobody uses dashes anymore.. you should have gone for planetwgl.org (like planetkde.org etc.)

    Will you never learn the new rules of Web Two Dot Oh, Chris?

    Great idea, Chris, and thanks for the “wonderful” :-)

    Maybe I can stop doing my roundup blog posts now?

    You should keep doing your roundup posts – they are great. And keep up the tutorials! I’m learning, too. :)

    Hey, I noticed that Planet WebGL has some delightful subscription options (foafroll.xml and opml.xml), but they’re not being advertised anywhere on the page! Those two files represent some great opportunities for people to subscribe to the planet. Any chance those could be linked on the front page?

    (Disclaimer: I’ve written software that supports FOAF and OPML parsing.)

    I’ve never messed with those and they aren’t part of the default template. I’ll look into it – thanks!

    OK, I’ll stick with the roundups — I’ve got some good links for today anyway :-)

    Tutorial #3 is coded and ready to go, “just” need to write the blog post now…
