		The objectives of the Croquet project are very ambitious: to give everyone the possibility to create shared and linkable 3D virtual worlds available to all users on a LAN or the Internet.
		From the Croquet FAQ: "The Croquet project is an effort to develop a new open source computer operating system built from the ground up to enable deep collaboration between teams of users.
		Croquet enables this communication by acting as the equivalent of a broadband conferencing system built on top of a 3D user interface and a peer-to-peer network architecture".

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Croquet
		Croquet is a recreational game and, latterly, a competitive sport that involves hitting wooden or plastic balls with a mallet through hoops embedded into the grass playing arena.
		Croquet was an event at the 1900 Summer Olympics and Roque, a variation on croquet, an event at the 1904 Summer Olympics.
		Golf Croquet has the advantage of being easier to learn and play, but its critics claim that the lack of croquet strokes in the game means that it is less intellectually demanding.

		Many croquet players are preparing to fly north to their summer residences, while the rest of us look forward with mixed feelings to a tropical summer in Florida.
		But now - in mid-April - the project is solidly on track and the site is abuzz with activity: grading berms, planting trees, constructing sidewalks and roadways, putting down thousands of square feet of sod to stabilize the raw, sculpted earth around the 12 croquet courts and the soon-to-be clubhouse.
		The National Croquet Center is negotiating with the World Croquet Federation for the Golf Croquet World Championship to precede the Festival (February 4-10) and overlap its opening day with a finals spectacle for several hundred spectators covered prominently by the press.

	Croquet is coming
		Croquet looks and feels like a virtual reality game, but in terms of its development and goals is radically different.
		Croquet, on the other hand, is open source software, which means that anyone can access the code or the tools and create, extend, or adapt the virtual space to their own ends.
		Croquet is also different from many other educational gaming projects in that it is an attempt to overcome the limitations of traditional online learning environments.

		Chuck Steuber, president of the Croquet Foundation of America, has invested a year of solid groundwork and a substantial sum of his own money to bring to life his personal vision of the USCA headquarters of the future - the immediate future, if the donors he seeks are equal to the challenge.
		Australia comes closest, but the croquet in Australia is organized around the state organizations (not the national one), and though there are more croquet lawns and clubs in Australia than in any other country, there is no one dominant center with which the sport is identified.
		If the contributions aren't sufficient to mount the croquet headquarters project, the donors stand to gain, in fact, an attractive return on the resale of a prime parcel of land that is a long way from the mythic financial swamp of Florida real estate.

	The Croquet Project: An open source solution to the OS monopoly \| WTN
		Croquet was designed in the true spirit of open source, each programmer adding parts of it and then offering it for free so changes could be made.
		Beta versions of Croquet, released over the last few years, have already been adapted by universities working with the Croquet team, such as University of California-Berkeley's mechanism for the display of artwork and film, the CITRIS Collaborative Gallery Builder.
		Croquet's team has collaborated with researchers at Boston University, Duke University and the U.S. Military Academy, as well as the training director at NASA and the Academic ADL Co-Lab, which is currently evaluating the efficacy of Croquet.

		The set of the 'bricoleur's' means cannot therefore be defined in terms of a project (which would presuppose besides, that, as in the case of the engineer, there were, at least in theory, as many sets of tools and materials or 'instrumental sets', as there are different kinds of projects).
		Croquet, however, is one such development; it integrates high end three dimensional sound and graphics, collaboration technologies, simulations and other tools to create a powerful shared space for the creation, use, and re-use of digital content.
		The response to Croquet was very positive, and we've now been invited to attend the Emerging Practices and Learning Technologies in Higher Education NLII Focus Session at Rice University on Mar 8-9, 2005 whose attendees will be exploring strategies for anticipating, evaluating and incorporating new and emerging information technologies on their campuses.

		Croquet is a wide-area distributed system for deep collaboration among large numbers of users in the context of a large-scale distributed information system.
		Croquet is designed to enable massively multi-user peer-to-peer collaboration and communication in a universe of hyperlinked spaces of live, end-user-written 2D and 3D objects.
		The Croquet Workshop will present the current state of the system, provide a number of working example applications and environments, and discuss how TeaTime and the requirements of a 3D collaborative object model changes the dynamics of development.

		The key underlying principle in the project is the use of well-defined models of computation that govern the interactions between components.
		Croquet is a programming and user environment for wide-area distributed systems based on David Reed's notion of distributed objects.
		Croquet's treatment of distributed computation assumes a truly large scale distributed computing platform, con-sisting of heterogeneous computing devices distributed throughout a planet-scale communications network.

	Library Technology Guides: Unconventional and innovative: the Open Croquet Project -- Breeding, Marshall
		Croquet uses an avatar to place the user inside a three-dimensional virtual information space that looks like the playing field of a multiplayer video game (see figure).
		Croquet uses an architecture called TeaTime, which provides the basis for the synchronization of objects in peer-to-peer collaboration activities.
		While Croquet might not displace the current generation of operating systems and interfaces anytime soon, I do hope that some of its concepts and technologies will find their way into the mainstream.

	Croquet Project Releases Initial Developer Release \| Lambda the Ultimate
		The initial developer release of Croquet, the Smalltalk-based distributed computing environment, is now available.
		Unless something has changed in terms of Squeak's primitives, included libraries, and even architecture, I find it difficult to believe that Croquet will be as durable or important as something built on E or Oz.
		OTOH, I wish Croquet all possible success, because it looks like a nice potential proof by demonstration that scalable real-time virtual worlds are feasible without having to have the server farms of a Second Life etc.

	UW open-source 3D environment tapped for commercial development \| WTN
		According to Julian Lombardi, assistant director of UW-Madison’s Division of Information Technology and one of Croquet’s lead architects, the system was developed to further “scientific visualization” and move past the confines of simple documents.
		Croquet is designed to work in as many fields as possible, though, so 3Dsolve has no plans to limit itself to one area.
		Lombardi says that the beta of Croquet should be ready by fall of 2005, and the currently “robust” technology is ready for 3Dsolve to continue its development.

		While on vacation, browsing the web through a monofilament of network connection, I came across the croquet project.
		One of the ways to characterize the current dilemma is that every project we do, even those with seemingly similar goals has a much larger learning curve than it should.
