I see dependencies as an external issue, any 3rdPartyPlugins directory
would just provide source and Cmake files to find/specify the required
dependencies - in much the same way the present plugins do.
Providing links to/instructions for obtaining dependencies is
something we need to populate the wiki with, and if possible provide
binaries/links to binaries for most common of the dependencies.

My hope for osgforge was that it would take us some way towards
providing an incubator with standard web interfaces (tracs) and svn
version control. So far it has taken off though. Other version
control system might help facilitate things, but only if we can keep
things consistent across the wider family of OSG add on projects.

Perhaps it might be possible for us to provide a WebPlugin base class
interface that backends are provide for IE/Firefox/webkit. We'd need
to look at the commonality between an existing IE plugin and similar
Firefox plugin to see how practical this would be. Could you publish
you work in form that it could be reviewed in this light?

Dependencies discussion would be best done in another thread.

Again another worthy topic that deserves another thread... :-)

I guess you could write a .osg ascii output from a Python builder
class to a string/memory rather than to file and then re-direct this
be loaded by the browser plugin. I don't know if you are aware but
the .osg plugin has a mode psuedo loader built into that that parses
the .osg file directly from the filename passed into the plugin. You
just add ".osgs" to the string and then call readNodeFile("Geode{...
}.osgs"). This might help with you usage model.
Robert.
