Im Nick, student of MSc Computer Science, i wanted to do a project for
my final year using this technology for my university to create a
virtual campus? will it be possible to do that? since i am very new to
this. I would be very thankful if you could please advice me on this
as i only have 3 months to complete it. and also will it be possible
to work on the source code to add functionality? please advice me on
where to request for the source code?
if you want to create a virtual campus you won't have to go too deep
into the source code. There are plenty of modules available that will
allow you to create a virtual space (well, it depends on what you want
to build, of course), and you can just drag and drop models created
with a tool such as sketchup (or downloaded from the google 3D
warehouse) directly into your space.

The tool is free and there are 100s of on-line tutorials to learn to use SketchUp. Once you have a model built, you should export it to the Google Earth (.kmz) format and save the model on your computer. Then you drag and drop it into an open Wonderland window and use the in-world tools to position it. As Jos� mentioned, there multiple tutorials available to teach you how to build a Wonderland world. I recommend starting with this one:
Feel free to post questions here as you go along. You should easily be able to complete the project in 3 months, especially if you can find some already built models in the Google 3D warehouse that you can start with:

Thanks for providing me the relevant information, i appreciate your
time. As i am doing Masters level i believe my university will expect
me to do more than just using the source code and importing the 3d
model into it, i mean i should add some functionality that is not
available at present, and make a proper research on open wonderland by
comparing other open source virtual world.
i am afraid that once i achieve my project goal by developing a
virtual uni campus How could i make it as a permanent active world for
my university? and is there any option like would i be able to upload
the developed model into a private server on my own? and provide the
URL to university.
Also i would appreciate if you would suggest if there are any active
virtual world available online developed by open wonderland?
Thanks a lot

Thank you very much guys i had been through the entire links, its
very useful and i guess this is the best opportunity for me, im really
motivated to step further now..
Appreciate your time.
Cheers

Adding functionality would be great and it does sound like that's more appropriate for a masters-level project, but doing a combination of art and code will probably be the way to go. In terms of adding code, you should think in terms of a new "module." You can see the modules that others have created by browsing the Wonderland Module Warehouse:
We hope you'll consider contributing whatever new feature you add to the Module Warehouse and to the open source code repository. If you'd like some ideas for possible new projects, here's a list of ideas that we brainstormed for Wonderland Wednesday projects:
Wonderland Wednesdays are weekly developer meetings, currently being held every Wednesday at 5pm US Eastern time on the community server, in which members of the open source community get together and work on projects. We're currently close to finishing a telepointer project. These meetings are open to everyone and are a great way to learn more about Wonderland development. Also, those people who have been attending these meetings for a while are usually happy to answer questions before or after the formal part of the meeting.

Yes, you can certainly do this. You just need to find a server on your campus to host the world. The way most people do Wonderland development is to start by running a Wonderland server and a Wonderland client on their own computer. Then you can deploy updated versions to a server that's hosted somewhere else. I would talk to your school's IT department and see if they can give you some server space. We typically recommend running a Wonderland server on Ubuntu Linux. Using a virtualized server works as well.

I believe Jos already mentioned that you can try out the Open Wonderland community server, available here:

I am so glad to be a part of this community and Im so thankful to you
Nicole, i had been through the Wonderland Wednesday Project Ideas its
very interesting, i want to attend the meeting on wednesday and i am
looking forward to meet the people who are part of the meeting to
discuss their success on the developments, i will consider
contributing few good functionality ideas from the given website, as
well as i will brainstorm with my supervisor about new functionality
that could be implemented for open wonderland.
About me, I am doing Masters of Computer Science in Nottingham Trent
university, Clifton Campus, UK. As i am in my final semester i had a
main dissertation to hand in, and i had been researching a lot about
choosing a right topic and looked at various subjects like image
processing, augmented reality and virtual world concepts and as i
am a game lover i enjoy working on arts and code so i have considered
to take up this project for my dissertation to develop a virtual
campus to my university,
And are there any books or any websites available on the
administrative knowledge for managing the server and client? also is
there any reference book on open wonderland about Technical background
information?
Thanks a lot, appreciate your help!
Nick.

No books on Open Wonderland written yet. Perhaps you'll take on that challenge after you have finished with your project :-) Everything we have written can be found linked to either the Documentation Portal:
The Wonderland monthly release that will be available on Tuesday adds some new admin features. I'll try to update the guide to match the new release as soon as possible, so a few things might be a little different until I get around to updating the text and screenshots.
In terms of technical background, I suggest reading the following paper:

Thank you very much, and I’m in love with your kindness. It will be my
greatest honour to start writing the book once I am finished with my
masters project, as it will be a very exciting and enthusiastic task,
if you allow me to write the book under your supervision that will be
my greatest gift.
I will discuss about the availability of the server space in my
university with my supervisor, and I am starting “Literature review”
today on this project as I have to hand in the work on 8th, so on top
of all the information you have provided I might trouble you for some
specific information later in the literature survey.
Thanks a lot,
Regards
Nick
