I don't teach, but I do have a new baby and business to run, so I can understand being pulled in other directions. I don't really think we all need much of your time, mostly just e-mail and wiki time to pull everyone together and point the way forward. Does everyone else agree, or do we need Dirk to do a bunch of coding? :)
That said, one rough area in OpenSG 2.0 is the whol cptr/fcptr/whatever issue. IMHO this needs to be resolved very quickly. The other big issues for us are that OpenSG 2.0 needs to have all the capabilities from 1.8 ported over. I think we just need to make a list on the web of what needs ported, file tickets for them, and then have people start volunteering to port things. As several people have shown over the past couple months it is possible for anyone (user, power user, core developer) to port things pretty quickly. As far as specific features: - We need clustering working. If this doesn't work we are dead in the water on all our current projects. I just assumed that it did work. I can over emphasize how important this one is. It is *the* killer feature of OpenSG. It should always work and there should be a tests in the test suite to make sure it keeps working. (anyone up for adding the tests??) - We need a VRML loader working ASAP - I have seen some scattered reports of file/image loader and writer code not being enabled or working. This needs to work. - Basically, all the core stuff needs to work and then all the capabilities of 1.8 need to work. I am willing to help prioritize some of these things with everyone else, and I already have some engineers here working on the code and fixing up some problems. It would help us if there were a more organized effort so we could see what needs done and how we can help. OpenSG 2.0 is going to be great, we just need to work together to get there. :) -Allen > Dirk > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
