Complete responses are not needed, all suggestions are diligently considered. Our primary goal at first is just to get a sense of what you hope to accomplish.
Informal suggestions are also welcome, with open dialog often occurring on the x3d-public mailing list (subscribe).
Contributors often decide to Join the Web3D Consortium to help protect their valuable investments of effort for the benefit of the entire Web. All submissions, if accepted, need to follow the Web3D Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy.
You are welcome to contact the X3D Working Group cochairs and discuss your goals. Experience has shown that thoroughness and diligence are the key is to get the technology done correctly and well.
Thank you for considering the possibilities and proposing opportunities for progress.
