No, but you did want a large, distributed project similar to how the GNU compilers or ijg (which didn't develope JPEG itself, just a toolset) were developed. What made these projects work was the low cost to get into the game (free compiler) etc. Poser was written in CodeWarrior, and, at $500 / seat, I doubt we'll have a large number of people stepping up to this. Additionally, the development method was "develop on Mac, port to Windows". Which means we'll have to quickly shift to "develop on Windows (or Linux) and port to Mac, since Mac programmers only account for about 8% of all software developers.
