I tried using Blender 2.5 for game creation a little while back and was stymied by the lack of any sort of mouse look function (beyond the poorly documented python scripting interface). It's sad, because I'm used to the Blender interface -- although, as you said, the faces thing was annoying. I should probably give Radiant a serious try.
@Pompei: I'm not sure what the rationale for that would have been, or who said it. At the moment, I think it would be a really good idea.
Please also bear in mind that there are a lot of different people around here with varying opinions, none of whom completely speak for the whole community (that goes for me, too). So it's not likely that the same person who said it would be a bad idea is now saying it's a good one. :)
Regardless, I think it might be a good idea to bring in 0AD's content, with their permission.
In the past, I've found the cube2 map editing interface to be a bit weird to use... have they changed it much in terms of usability?

Very nice so far. Keep up the good work!

This is not an official entry. I tried to do it in 15 minutes, but it ended up taking 45. :)
Requires the QML Viewer to run. You can find it in the Qt SDK for your platform.

Definitely reminiscent of SC2. Nice work!
Sure, the OpenGameArt.org text with the site mascot. I'll be changing in OGA 2.0. Mockup here:

Maybe a picture of a badly-drawn stick figure with a sword and a shield, and a caption:
"Only you can prevent programmer art."
Blender can load 3ds files fine, as far as I know.

Also, what I think is seriously lacking, is an "advanced search", I cannot even say what kind of art I want to search! (Or am I being blind?)
No, you're not being blind. That's a serious oversight on my part that needs to be rectified.
