I want to make some kind of joke here that starts with “a guy walks through a Croquet portal with a duck on his head” but I can’t quite figure out what it is. Instead, I’ll just link to Qwaq, which is nothing more than a mission statement at the moment, but an intriguing one at that. Qwaq’s mission? “To enable a rich ecosystem of interlinked Croquet spaces, that is as easy to navigate and extend as today’s web.” So Croquet (which we’ve blogged about several times recently) has its first Web-based network hub — or it will have, as soon as Qwaq flaps its wings. Will users then put portals from each of their spaces to the next? And why not write a Qwaq plug-in so that you can browse the network from within Croquet? Croquet so open-source that you can edit the application’s code from within the application and see the effects on the fly, which is kind of mind-blowing, so a Qwaq plug-in shouldn’t be that hard. We’ll bring you more updates as we get them. Is anyone actually using Croquet now that the SDK is out in beta? We’d love to hear from you. [Via the Daily Graze.]
