Our esteemed list owner has suggested that I introduce myself, and comment on my interest in VRML-Lit.
My particular interest is in the VR, social and game-related aspects of VRML-Lit. I'm the list owner for the MUD-Dev list, which shares many topics with this list, especially with topics such as the use of VRML as a presentation layer, storytelling/nonlinear narratives and the automation and computation of such (cf Doug Crawford's Erasmatron). It was the posts on this latter area which initially attracted me to the list.

Not knowing that VRML-Lit was archived at Mail Archives (a machine which is about 20 feet from my desk at VA of all things) I started an archive for the list here at Kanga.Nu, with the intention of having the MUD-Dev and VRML-Lit archives support each other in their common interests.
http://www.kanga.nu/archives/VRML-Lit-L/
The current VRML-Lit archive does not contain traffic from recent weeks, and the root page for the list is missing (still working on some automation aspects), but you should be able to get a feel for how it works. The VRML-Lit archives at Kanga.Nu have gained a bit of attention with over 500 web hits in this month alone, almost certainly generated by mentions on MUD-Dev..
However, the VRML-Lit list owner has suggested that the continued existance of this archive needs to be blessed by the membership. I would like to continue archiving the list -- there really is a lot of mutual interest between the two lists. May I?
Note: I munge all email addresses in the archives, be they in header fields, signatures or message bodies to impede harvesting by spammers without preventing humans from reading them.
