I'll ask. FWIW, I am also very skeptical that it will lead to anything, as I'm afraid plib is close to dying. Nevertheless, I'd like to ask, as courtesy to the well intended people over there (in particular John Fay, who's put a lot of effort into keeping plib going). > > I'm a bit impatient with plib, and I think that integrating the > code into fgfs becomes more and more desirable.

If not, we still use 1.8.4, and give them until the release of 0.9.12 (or whatever FG version number is next). If by then, we still haven't seen a new release, we fork our own versions of the relevant libraries. Assuming we stick to the plan of releasing one more plib version and then switch over to OSG, how much of plib do we still depend upon? The scene graph and the audio lib are already replaced by OSG and openal, so I guess it's joystick code and pui? Anything else?
