I've received an email from the developer of the Rawkee plugin with this very useful information on how to properly export a Maya Binary to an X3D.

Under File, click the box next to "Export All".

1) Make sure the "Consolidate Files Locally" box is checked. - If this is
not checked, the exporter will use the path on your machine in the URL
field of the ImageTexture node. This option was put in because one of the
groups helping me debug the software wanted this.

2) Make sure the "Overwrite Existing Texture and Audio Files" is checked.

This project has been great for both teams. The project wiki has been a good tool and the contributors through the artwork stage have really been doing a great job.

All artwork is done through the Wonderland Format

We are now working on deployment. Art tool path complete, (with some pains)but it is complete.

Deployment is vexing and I am sure glad I know a bit about XML and Ant. Will need now to focus on the Java code. We probably need a programming student on this full-time as my schedule remains full.

Back in the early days of Star Trek, which some of us remember well, there was a computer voiced by Majel Barret. Every time something needed to be run or processed or sensed, the computer would say in a lovely tone, "Working." Sometimes, as I dig into the techspeak involved in the various transformations of X3D to WFS, I feel I need that little voice, and maybe a light over my head to go on, because the process will take a little time to figure out. In the end, though, the solutions always came through, and the ship could go on.

Project management is a fun, challenging, hairy, stressful, generally helter-skelter thing. To do a good job, one requires a solid team, clear goals, metrics, buy-in, and more. Beyond all this, communication is key. Sometimes things get a bit hairy, particularly when the team has just made a great leap. Let's take a moment, breathe deeply, and refocus on what we've accomplished.

We've done quite a bit of solid work for Wonderland:
* User guide for client and server for Windows
* User guide for client and server for Ubuntu (Linux)
* In-world tests and meetings with and without sound
