Using Verse with GIMP and Blender

What's Verse?
At my work at VirtaMed I work with the Verse protocol with which 3D scenes can be synchronized. It's pretty easy to create functioning server-client application where models and textures are synchronized in real-time. There are also games out there that use Verse. Maybe we could have tried to use it for Orxonox as well, but I'm not sure if it would have worked.
Using Verse for Orxonox
Anyway Blender has a client implementation and so has GIMP with a plugin. This video shows how you can do that. I don't know if this is still needed with the texture painting in the new Blender version, but for Orxonox this would definitely be something useful to work with. If you need more information or some assistance I can help you. I know the protocol and its application pretty well already
3D artist collaboration - 3D Jam Session
For the 3D artists please also check out the comments where Butch Arrington suggests to make a collaborative effort to connect several Blenders together and do a live 3D Jam session. This should work great, because Verse works perfectly over the Internet as well. I'm sure for artists this could be a lot of fun and the video of the collab would certainly also help to promote Verse. So why not contact them and help organize it?
