Well, I'm working in an specific field of the robotics. But for example the list could have: - rtai - xenomai RTOS, both in debian now. - rtnet, not in debian. Modules to have real time extension to the network. - orocos, with debian packages but not in debian - orca, not in debian - roboop not in debian - opencv , in debian - comedi, in debian ... maybe a bit old? - octave, coin3d, vtk, gnuplot, boost, opende in debian For collision detection, I think we have nothing. Maybe, - d-collide Also all the typical apps for the scientific write. > > so, depends on the people, the interest, etc the idea could be possible > > or not. > > The idea is always possible. ;-) :-) > The question is rather whether enough people are willing to do the grunt > work.
