[Nel] Snowball 2.0?

[Tony Hoyt]

 I'm curious as to the progress of SnowBall and it's compatability with
the latest version of nel.  Has the team stableized things in the
interface to a point where a new version could be done or should we see
more inteface re-defineing changes in the future that could strongly
affect any projects desired to be based off of it?

  Also, how's the progress on the 3d rendering engine?  At home I have a
p3 800 but only a tnt2 ultra video card with 32mb ram.  Will nel
eventually be developed to support that weak a model of graphics card? 
At least there should be some options of disableing a lot of 'special
affects' to help speed up the game in question.  And we all know that it
should be able to deal with 100 active actors on screen at one time.
(Stress test)  But how possable does that look in the near future?
