Is there a community fork of OSM Buildings or is it just dead?
The source code for OSM2World is already public and open, and of course all the assets such as 3d models or textures are under open licenses. The code for the new frontend will be open as well as soon as the frontend itself is published. We don't really share the link to our internal prototype version at the moment because it's still so visibly flawed ... maybe that's misguided perfectionism on my part, idk.
What are some alternatives?
