Re: [orion-dev] orion.core.content

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For the use case of importing a zip file
to help a user get started, you may also be interested in trying out the
new linked import capability in Orion 3.0, which allows an external site
to provide a link to import content into an Orion instance. You can find
an example on Ken's GitHub page:

Hi Simon,

Re: quick start
I am very happy to hear it will come back !
As to the where and how, I think the idea with a welcome page would be
a 
perfect fit.
Maybe I could even contribute to it. I am currently not well versed with
the Orion API, but if you point me in the right direction
I would give it a try.

Re: WebGL.
The short term goal is to provide a place for users to start a demo 
project very easily and modify code and see what happens.
Our users of the engine struggle a bit with: downloading our example 
zip, putting new content to the correct location and using a local HTTP
server to
see their changes because of the security limitations on working with 
local files in the browser ( file://...
)

Eclipse Orion seems like the perfect fit, because it can provide a WebGL
quick start template ( at least in 2.0 ;-) and also because of the 
"sites" feature.
Together with the editor and the file upload this will provide our users
with a much better experience.

The long term goal would be to add code completion for the API of the 
WebGL context and our engine
and possibly add a complete new 3D editor for our 3D scene format to Orion.

Regards,
Ray.
