As I mention in the page, I have plenty of other work to be going on with, so am not about to plow headlong into coding up the whole osgViewer right now. I'll do bit by bit when I have available time.
Once osgViewer is fleshed out and ready to use I'd guess Don will have made good progress towards a Producer 2.0, it may even be out well before osgViewer is ready to go. This will leave new users with the option of choosing either (or perhaps even both ;-) libraries to implement their viewers with, both will be 3rd generation viewer libraries so will certainly improve on what went before them ( i.e. osgGLUT, and osgProducer and osgMP, Producer respectively) so users should be nicely supported either way.
For existing users who are using osgGA/osgProducer/Producer1.x the situation is less clear cut. Do you stick with these libraries or do you migrate to the osgViewer or Produer 2.x? How do we go about helping those who want to transistion, and how to we help those who want to stick with the original implementations?
One of my own goals with the OpenSceneGraph is to keep the distribution thinned down to core modules, and once osgViewer is up and running, would prefer to move osgProducer out into a sperate distribution. It might be that would could make an osgProducer distribution that coupled with a Producer 1.x distribution.
No need to worry about immediate action, osgViewer is quite a long way from being reality, I'd guess it'll be long after OpenSceneGraph-1.3 is out before we have a viable osgViewer could even contemplate moving out osgProducer into its own separate distribution.
And before you ask the obvious question, no I don't yet have a time scale for OpenSceneGraph-1.3. Earliest date would be December if we kept the new feature development down to a minimum.
Thanks in advance for you assistance, patience and support,
Robert.
