First and foremost.. Bonjour! It would be nice to have a translator for
3dXtract - are you interested in that? As far as open-source? If it was
feasible to go truly "open" I would. The problem is exactly how you
described it...

"I have done more energy than I should have to collaborative works that
finally were not really collaborative, neither open-source, and I don't want
to go on that route again"

I plan on producing something worth being a part of, but at the same time it
needs to happen in a stages that are effective in both time, energy, and
price range. I don't need to reinvent the wheel, just make it better. I
think your approach is way more involved than I would like to see it. I was
looking for more "input" on what would make it a great resource for Carrara
and Amapi users (features, modifications). Also, I need to be responsible
for it. Relying on others to stay with it would simply take it out of
absolute control and cause more headaches than I need... Finding content
each month is enough so far :)

Thanks

Carl Desmond
