(I'm not the one who proposed the project, so I might be wrong about the motivations and ideas behind "aGLESory".) I *think* the idea behind aGLESory is to make it easier to start creating projects utilizing OpenGL ES for Maemo/MeeGo. Right now, if one was to use Xlib to create a "Hello World"-ish GL ES app, it would look like this: http://wiki.maemo.org/SimpleGL_example There's too much boilerplate code (setting up the X window, etc..) which makes it hard (or a copy'n'paste job) to start a new project utilitzing OpenGL ES. I guess most of this is covered by using Qt and its QGLWidget, which can be subclassed to implement the rendering/setup: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qglwidget.html - This also provides texture loading using QImage. Still, maybe a more "lightweight" solution with Xlib and DevIL, packed into a nice, little C++ framework is what aGLESory is about (maybe with some additional helper classes to make it easier to get started). It would be nice if Flandry (the "reporter" on the GSoC ideas page) could elaborate a bit on what the idea is exactly. I've added myself as a possible mentor for this project, as it does interest me personally :) HTH.
