= Outcomes of the Sept 2011 MORSE Hackathon =

== A GUI for MORSE ==

 * First version of a GUI for MORSE. It currently allows for appending any kind of components into the current scene.
 * Debugging of DTM mesh creation plugin - Ported to Blender 2.59/Python 3.2
 * WIP: merge it with new GUI for component importation

== MORSE Components ==

 * New infrared sensor, based on SICK code
 * New property (vertical_flip) for cameras

== MORSE Multinode API ==

 * Definition of a multinode API (HLA/sockets)
 * Lot of doc has been produced, including tutorials/test

== MORSE Builder API ==

 * Support for multi-node configuration from a builder script
 * More doc!

== MORSE general ==

 * Removed the need for middleware empties
 * Removed the need for modifier empties (WIP: to be tested)

== Organization of the MORSE documentation ==

 * Main documentation page has been completely revamped. Should be much more user friendly.
 * New page "What is MORSE?" with a summary of MORSE features
 * Lots of updated doc. Even more remain to be done (including diagrams)

== MORSE launch script ==

 * It's ow possible to open and start a fullscreen simulation with ``morse run``.
 * Plus a couple of other minor fix.
 * WIP: This should enable soon automated testing of MORSE (and possibly other software using MORSE for simulation)
 * Added a simple wrapper to be used as shebang in MORSE builder scripts: Add ``#! /usr/bin/env morseexec`` to your scripts!

== Human-robot integration ==

 * Imported a new human model from TUM, with much better interaction (grab/place object, correct camera movements, etc)

== Support for kinematics chain in the Collada exporter ==

 * Contact established with Alexei Zakharov for the importer/exporter for Collada 1.5, based on OpenCollada, with support for Blender 2.59. WIP. github:zakharov/blenderColladaKinematics
