Thanks for your offer of help. Alas so far the only offer of help, hopefully others will chip in once we get the ball rolling. I'll post in a follow up email my plans. > I have experience maintaining projects with SVN. > But the problem is that I'm not an osgIntrospection user and don't have a > comprehensive idea of the future of this library.

Maintaining osgIntrospection out of kindness or curiosity is much less of spur for long term commitment. Perhaps if no one has the scratch it itch then perhaps just sleeping in a quite corner is not bad thing for the project. > If possible, maybe what I'm going to do is to merge the wrapper and related > examples (there is a Tcl/Tk example besides > examples/osgintrospection) first, and see if we can have an easy-to-use > front-end in the next step.

I do feel that it turned out too be a bit too overcomplicated for average users to get their head around. Using osgIntrospection as a learning tool for a new introspection scheme for the OSG would be useful. What I don't want to do is go the route that osgIntrospection went of being really in-depth and with it complex. If we could distilling the good things about osgIntrospection to an extent that we can provide wrappers with a low footprint and that are easy to use and manage then we'll be a in good place.
