This made me smile:

``Virtual Object System - Worthy of note purely because they share the 
dream of creating "The Metaverse".  There's not really a lot to see yet, 
but the reason is that they're taking a very "from the ground up" 
approach.  IF this every lauches, it will end up being fast and 
reliable.  Their wiki is active, so it's worth keeping an eye on.  If 
they every decide to go for VC funding, they could crush everything 
else.''

There is also a comment on the blog post which clarifies a few points 
the original author made -- whoever "CrystalShard Foo" is, thanks :-)

Regarding the last point (the funding, not the crushing), I am currently 
working on writing up development and design plans and working towards 
the actual proposal we will present to potential funding sources.  If 
anyone has any special experience writing proposals or working with 
investors, please contact me.  Since we're going for a distinctly 
nontraditional business model (open source, open development, community 
involvement early and as much as possible) some of this is uncharted 
territory...
