Like you, we use OpenSG internally for about 90% of our development and we are in a similar situation. OpenSG has the technical capabilities that we need for our work but at least the public perception of the project is that growth and the community around it has stagnated and this has led us to seriously consider other alternatives. That said, I know from talking to Dirk that OpenSG development is very much alive and kicking. There is a very active userbase and new features are added very frequently but all to often this is hidden from the public and I think it puts OpenSG at a disadvantage when trying to attract new users and developers. Part of my effort in asking questions and helping out has been done with the goal of seeing if we can reinvigorate the community, make more things public, and grow the OpenSG project into the project we all know it could be. Any ideas you have to help out with this would be greatly appreciated. -Allen >My only comment on the "Features" is the 10 fps comment.....
