About j3d.org

Steve Pietrowicz was involved in the original creation. He also started and maintained the Java 3D FAQ for a long time, which was the original motivator for getting this site going in the first place. Unfortunately, due to work pressures, Steve can no longer work on the site.

Along the way we have picked up various other pieces of content - such as the Java 3D Loader Archive, maintained for a number of years by Bill Day. The rest is contributed by various people and taken from posts to the java3d-interest list. If you think you would like to help out, please look at the Help Wanted page for items that are currently outstanding.

Main site Details

The site is not sponsored by Sun Microsystems or any other company. We've deliberately tried to keep it this way because we want to be seen as independent as possible. As the site grows, we'll need to start taking some form of sponsorship, just to pay for the ISP costs to run it while remaining as independent as possible. If you'd like to help us out, please contact us.

The current site config:

• Apache for web serving duties
• Subversion for maintenance & version control
• vi, textpad, ssh for editing the pages
