Alot of you have probably wondered if I was ever going to get around to releasing all my 'new' addons from several months ago also possibly release new addons for Celestia...well the answer is yes...And I think I have a definate timeframe where this will occur....For those of you who have followed my current project, The Doctor Who Universe, you well know I have been tied up in getting a pre-release finished for Selden Ball to inspect before its released to sourceforge and possibly mirrored on the Motherlode if thier interested in hosting it...even though its not Celestia based....For more information on DWU and screenshots you can visit my site....Screenshots can be found here...
Now I have been thinking of the older addons that used to be hosted on shatters and was thinking it might be possible to revise some of them and possibly improving them in the months to come...To name a few would be NGC 1999, The Rosetta Nebula and Eta Carinae as I believe they were the most popular...This I find more attractive a prospect than having them as is on the Motherlode...
This I think will be a project for this summer...As for the recent work from the past fall...Mr Ball I believe will handle the uploading of those for me in the coming weeks...And soon after should be the release of DWU....
I do also want to add that the DWU sadly will only run on Win32 machines...and as for porting issues this will also sadly be in the future...I am working on getting a machine set up with Linux so you might see a linux port done by yours truly...but I tend to want to improve what I have rather than re-inventing the wheel so to speak...so I might challenge someone who is really interested in Doctor Who or sci-fi in general to do a port for me...Even A mac port would be wonderful....I certainly would like to get Runar involved at some point building models or anyone else with the vision and the passion for creativity....Hay guys Im begging here I NEED HELP DAMMIT lol...I know in the past I briefly worked with some of you namely Runar in creating addons...The mythica addon to name one specifically... I definately wouldnt mind a collective effort from some of you here in atleast revising the above mentioned older addons...A community effort might produce some stunning results...

A Long Overdue Addon/Project Update....
I'm trying to teach the cavemen how to play scrabble, its uphill work. The only word they know is Uhh and they dont know how to spell it!
If you are familiar with Who and your hands arent too tied up...I would love to see some alien spacecraft...Since Who relies mostly on imagination...Its the limit!

Well, i don??t have any references to Dr. Who; the series has never been aired here in Scandinavia, so i can??t contribute anything there. But, if there are other projects, you know i am interested - maybe finally get started on The Smoke Ring? I wanna build trees...
Right now i am buried in the most ambitious project i have undertaken yet for Celestia - not in size, but thematically... I suspect i??ll have my hands full with it for the next four months or so... But after that, it would be great to do something together again.

Way too early announce, really. Though you may have a general idea where it is headed... A little, anyway
