Miguel Sepulveda is beginning work on a 3D Logo for Linux, according to his
last few messages here.  Miguel, perhaps Jan would be interested in helping
out?  Jan, how about it?  Of course, anyone else who'd like to help out is
encouraged to get in contact with Miguel too.  I know that I'd like to see
something like this.  It's worth looking into the Toontalk program that Jan
mentioned to see if it has any ideas that can be adapted for Miguel's
program; I'll try to do that momentarily.

As to ISETL, if there are any programmers here on the list itching to get
started on something that may be just the ticket.  It certainly sounds
interesting.
