Re: Starting Our Mission

Hey Leonard,

thanks for kicking things off!

I personally think (1) and (2) are a necessity for a Declarative WebVR
group and (3) is just as important to avoid reinventing VRML / X3DOM.

I wonder what the sentiment is towards WebGL around here? Could it be a
backing technology, potentially reducing the implementation effort or shall
we step back from that and see what is possible with CSS and maybe a new
way of getting a 3D context in the browser?

Looking forward to the discussions and other opinions!

Cheers,
Martin
