RE: [www-vrml] Time Sensors and Background Nodes -- territory vs maps
Deep Matrix has had this feature for quite some time.
The newest version of Abnet now implements it.
The blaxxun developer's server has some "index" worlds up
by an individual (nick is "Raging Storm") that allows users
to register and list their worlds.

Oh. OK. I mistook.
What I'd love is to have a kind of index world that takes you to all the
VRML worlds out there, and do it in a multiuser fashion. The old VNet
had some promise in this way. I'm not sure how possible it becomes with
VNet+ or ABNet. Perhaps someone here might be able to illuminate this
question.
Cheers,
