Oops. By "you" in my comment I meant the core devs. English is such an 
ambiguous language. (Swedish is way better, all the time ;-P)

I'm just a user just as you (on Windows, at a company) that really would 
like to see OpenSG work out well.

I suppose what OpenSG needs is some way to make contributions in code, 
documentation and other resources easier.

But OpenSG is after all a rather complex product that might need a clear 
direction if not to fall apart. I've had the feeling that the core devs 
are rather strict on how things should be done. This is good if they 
have time to manage contributions etc etc. If not, it sort of hinders 
progress and usage. OTOH, there's probably more than enough code in 
there that it's pretty hard to change things fundamentally now.

W.r.t. Windows-builds, there's nothing stopping anyone from publishing 
such builds themselves (but regular releases do help, as in-the-middle 
builds are seldom made externally). Tagged releases (i.e. 2.0rc1) is 
something that even I could build and release, and it would be worth the 
effort if as people are usully more inclined to more use, test & report 
bugs on "official" releases.

Perhaps we should go to time-based releases, and do one every quarter. 
If we start now and declare that what we have now is OpenSG 2.0 10R1 (or 
something, the first offical 2.0 release anyway), I'd wager there will 
be at least some who shift and try it out. (After all, we've been using 
2.0 for over a year, and others even longer, so it should be reasonably 
good, and the pieces that aren't ported over will be reported.)

Cheers
/Marcus
