Someone mentioned the "GNU Computer Aided Manufacturing" webpage today on #emc so I went to check it out, hoping that I might finally find something to turn 3d models into toolpaths.. It's at
http://gcam.js.cx/
Well the page looks nice; I think they have a good start on something. Unfortunately the webpage is totally devoid of any links! There's no contact info, files to download, or entry in the whois registry that might direct me to the author. In fact the only link to this page seems to be from a wikipedia article. This is not a very open-source development model! However I think the author just made the webpage incorrectly - so, if anyone knows who the author of GCAM is, please lend them a hint for me.
thanks,
