Begin design and building of the cube #3

People of the intarwebz!

I am looking for someone well-versed in 3-D rendering and web graphics to help Andreas and I turn this repo into a reality. I will pledge to clean up the files and make the content flow logically, and in a maximally interesting way. The goal is to get the more esoteric concepts into a form and format where they are easily accessible and understandable in byte-sized pieces.

I need someone willing to try and build the cube that will hold all this stuff and interact with any user in a gripping way that will leave them saying "Cooooool!!" and wanting to come back and learn more, even if it's just to play with a fun and interactive site.

Representation

The Foundation of the representation will be a 3D cube. There will be three Views. We will be using six markdown files as input for each plane.

See the rest of the README for more and some unanswered questions.

The bounty is meant only as a first iteration for a design and proof of concept. There will be further bounties to build and maintain this as I want to experiment with some longer term compensation models for open source development in general.

Some ideas to fill in some more details:

There is a tool called sozi: https://github.com/senshu/Sozi

Which uses SVG and javascript to create presentations from SVG files, it also supports animations. I'm not sure if the solution could be implemented using sozi.

Although SVG is "just" 2D you can create "fake" 3D projections. Maybe just SVG and sozi is enough.

There is also CodeChisel3D by robert krahn which uses (go straight 3D) three.js and webVR

I think I would love to use this directly with status to make community content more visible. Imagine if we had something like the construct from above but filled by the books mentioned from the book-club, maybe related to usernames? @andytudhope What do you think?
