Also, it might be easy to convert EQemu's server networking code to client.
If you are thinking of doing "Your own renderer", consider using Ogre.
I think the server's network code may or may not be relevent. It's trying to solve a different problem where it has to support many connections. We only have to support one. I have my own thoughts on the subject.

Personally I would have used Ogre too. It does everything we'd need and I personally think that it's is an outstanding example of how to write and design good object oriented c++ code.
But also writting the renderer is half the fun of the project, and nobody is going to work on a free project that isn't fun. Also Daeken has written all the code so far and he didn't want to use Ogre so what can you do

Oh, and yes a wiki is a great idea. Do you have the resources to set one up, or do you want me to do one?
