It would be cool, but I doubt we can commit to the mentoring responsibilities, and do it well enough it be worthwhile. I know that I can not - anyione else? I know a lot of folk think GSOC is like free labour, but it is not - done right it is a valuable learning opportunity for the student (and mentor!)

Not sure about SDL - for me it is in the same category as Cairo; works, looks nice, portable. But can be slow... And often have no prospect of h/w acceleration... I think we might do better with GL or GL-ES, as they are also portable and there's a good chance they will be h/w accelerated. -- Ian SELEX Galileo Ltd Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
