Getting started

Here is a list of things to get started.


1. go to http://www.google.com/ and click on 'more' and select 'Blogger'

Set up a blog for this project and let us know the details so we can
subscribe.
Please post in English so we can read it.
Also, send us the URLfor the site, and the URL for its RSS or
equivalent feed.

We will use the blog to keep track of the project.

2. Install the CentOS Operating System: http://www.centos.org/
We are using version 5

3. Install Producer - http://andesengineering.com/Producer/

4. Install Open Scene Graph (OSG) - http://openscenegraph.org
We're currently using version 2.1.

5. Install FLTK - http://www.fltk.org
DIVERSE uses fltk version 1.1.7

6. Install Diverse - http://diverse-vr.org

7. Send all questions to john.kelso@nist.gov, and me
judith.terrill@nist.gov. Please cc schanzle@nist.gov
The DIVERSE web pages are in the middle of a rewrite for the next
release of DIVERSE.
After that is completed, we will notify you and you can subscribe
to the DIVERSE Producers list

8. Install Qt- if you can support both versions 3.3.6, (which is what
comes with Centos), and 4.3.1, the most recent version, it would be
best.
If you have to choose just one, choose 4.3.1, as eventually Centos
will catch up.
