global ways to develop?

[Empty World]

hello guyz.. i'm new to this list, so i want to ask some questions and 
give some ideas..
the world is a little happier now - q3 is opensource.
what can it give to us?

a) bring q3 to new platforms, such as solaris, mac os 9, etc..
b) make existing q3 faster <this is what they doing now almost all the 
time, right?>
c) bring new features in q3

i wanted to talk about new stuff that can be brought.. a year ago i 
dreamed about software-render in q3 (don't laugh ;)) but now i 
understand that it's 99,5% impossible. everybody agrees?
there can be done lost of new features, that usual mod-making could not 
do. there can be a new, next-generation q3, maybe q3 for pro_s. but i 
think that is possible only if people make a community and start 
developing their hacks on this source code away from official 
(icculus.org), usual q3 sources..

anybody knows such already existing communities? i'd love to help if 
anybody decides make next-gen, pro-q3. p.s. hey guyz, maybe 
software-render is not hard to make, huh? :)
anyway, sorry for my english etc bla bla bla..
