I'm looking for someone who is involved or interested in becoming
involved in OssimPlanet (http://www.ossim.org/OSSIM/ossimPlanet.html) 
and who would like to take on a small software development project.  It 
would probably require some experience in GIS.

OssimPlanet is an open-source virtual globe, similar in many ways to 
Google Earth and NASA World Wind.  Delta3D (http://www.delta3d.org) is 
an open-source game and simulation engine.  OssimPlanet lacks physics, 
while Delta3D lacks terrain.  Neither by itself is sufficient for 
creating a game or simulation set in the real world, but the two 
together could be very effective.

The projects have discussed integration, but haven't done anything about 
it due to lack of time.

I'm interested in designing a game using OssimPlanet and Delta3D, but 
I'm not a programmer or software developer.  (I plan to write my ruleset 
in XML using an abstraction layer called the Ruleset Modeling Language, 
described at http://www.projectangela.org and 
http://www.projectangela.org/forum.)  Thus, I'm looking for someone with 
the skill and interest to take on the necessary integration for a modest 
fee.  I don't know at this point how difficult it would be; at least one 
poster (granx) on the Delta3D thread seemed to think it wouldn't be too 
difficult, but of course he may be wrong.
