I'm considering releasing the GTExD to the public (that's you guys... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)). However, it's not as ready as I'd like it to be - ideally it would have debris and LOD's. It also had some path problems, which should be fixed, but I haven't had time to test it.
I have zero time to put into its continued development, so I'm considering going "open-source" - making the POF & COB available for download. Anyone would be able to play with it, use it in their missions, whatever. But if anyone thinks to himself "Hey, it'd be cool to make debris/LOD's for this thing!" - please tell me what you're planning (for coordination purposes), and go for it! Then, when whatever you decided to do is "complete", send me what you've done, and I'll give it a quick test and put that version up for public download (why am I explaining open-source to you all - I'm sure you know more about it than I do... Oh well... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)).
If I get enough replies of interest in this topic, I'll go for it, and maybe even make a simple web page to monitor what various people are working on, what's been done, etc. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/naughty.gif)
Thoughts?

That's a great idea, Sandwich. Perhaps we should coordinate? I'll be releasing LWOs for all the ships I design, for whichever game they get used in. I'll probably dedicate a subsite off 404error.com for it. Something like "Mods.404error.com" or some such.
