I've yet to hear anything substantive since the original 12/2 email I
sent on the topic. In the interest of time I'm going to move on but it
is worth noting one thing. The GL2 progress has been embarassingly
slow. I take full accountablity for this. This latest effort to move
forward on the codebase will be my last. ..if things stagnate again I
will formally put my GL coding days behind me and leave the entire long
term vision of GL to Dirk. To help keep things moving I am hoping to
delegate as much work as possible to those with more time...however you
might note that quality help is a rare commodity. The progress that can
be made is directly tied the help I cant count on. I've had a number of
nibbles from people willing to help but none of them panned out, nearly
all sighting time commitments. So to expand on what I have already
said, unless I can get other developers to devote some amount of time to
GL2 I will need to officially kill the notion of GL2. To that end I am
setting a Februrary 1st deadline for myself and any that choose to help
on producing the complete GL2 framework code so that plugin development
can begin. Anything short of that I will view as failure.
I've cc'd the users mailing list in the hopes that some on that list
might consider contributing to GL2.
My apologies if this all sounded a bit dramatic...I simply wanted to,
one last time, assert my hopes to get the project moving and my
willingness to step aside for the lack of progress.
