If you're on Google+, I just started a new g+ community for OpenQwaq users and developers. Please join. Hopefully we could use this to do a hangout at some point in the future.

Hello,

I also wonder, which of them (Croquet, Open Cobalt and OpenQwaq) is half way alife and kicking. Croquet seems to be a closed case with its successors Open Cobalt and OpenQwag. Open Cobalt and OpenQwaq also seem to languish.

Though Open Cobalt is langushing, I strongly believe that it is worthwhile to maintain Open Cobalt.  How about OpenQwaq? Is OpenQwag the same as Open Cobalt with a updated code?

Why don't we join our efforts to keep at least one of them alive and kicking?

Cheers, Friend

Let me answer this and hope someone else puts some more details...
 
Croquet was the masterpice created by top Smalltalk programmers and was released as a SDK.
 
Some of the Croquet pillars put toguethet the concept of making a 3D world browser and with fund raising from Julian Lombardi created Open Cobalt hosted at Duke University.
 
Another spin off from Croquet was Qwaq and shortly was made into a venture constituting a company named Teleplace that sold the 3D collaboration model as a end-user software product that improved quality and evolved Croquet from a sandbox Smalltalk image into a fully installable COTS.
 
When Teleplace ceased busineses, the code was released as OSS and that baseline is available as OpenQwaq.
 
 
I was inclined to put my hands around QpenQwaq buy because of lack of tim I stayed tuned to Open Cobalt.
 
You can find what I did at http://code.google.com/p/scrum-wing-3d/
