Hi.

After reading a lot about OpenSG 2.0 in the past few weeks on this list, 
I wonder how to migrate in the near future to the new version or, at 
least, start to test it.

Some questions arise:

* General: Is 2.0 ready for prime time? It seems that a lot of people 
are already using it. Do you use it in "production" or merely for 
testing? What are your experiences so far?

* Porting: In the past two years I wrote a lot of code which is closely 
coupled to OpenSG (started shortly after 1.2. I think). Has anyone of 
you already ported a larger Application (>100k lines of code) to 2.0? 
Caveats? Recommendations?

* Porting: Is it possible to use 1.x and 2.x in parallel? I tried it on 
my notebook and saw, that OSG2
  - overwrites osg-config (although there is a osg2-config)
  - places the headers in prefix/OpenSG
  - places the libs in prefix/opt / prefix/dbg
(Seems that I have to reinstall some things...) Is anybody of you 
running both versions on the same machine? How do you keep them 
separated? (Speaking about Linux here....)

* Features: There was a posting by Marcus Roth on this list some weeks 
ago, that there is no clustering support (yet) in 2.0. I was quite 
surprised as I think that this is one of the OpenSG killer features. How 
long will it take until this is ported? Is it scheduled for the final 
2.0 release?

* Features: Some of our projects are using the VRMLAnimation lib of 
Rasmus. Will it still work with 2.0? It's using the 
since-I-started-to-code with-OpenSG-1.2-experimental-VRML-loader from 
Gerrit. Has this new loader made it finally in the 2.0 release? Or will 
there be adequate replacements (as there are questions about animation 
support regularly on this list, I fear not, but it's always worth a try...)

* Features: I downloaded the sources, but I'm missing the tutorials. 
Should the old stuff still work (yes I know, the begin/endEditCP-Stuff 
is deprecated no...)

* Obligatory: When will it be ready for release?

That's all for now, but I think more questions will follow...

Yours,
Dominik
