I agree with the other opinions expressed about not replacing SVN or
expanding pyglet's scope for the time being. There is enough to do just with
fixing open issues and revising the way in which decisions about pyglet are
made.

It seems to me that the most difficult immediate issue for the future of
pyglet is what to do about the divergence between the 1.1-maintenance branch
(off of which all releases have been made) vs. the trunk (sometimes called
the 1.2dev branch). The incompatibility between them can confuse new users
and new developers, and leads to more work and possible confusion for all
maintainers. Examples of the confusion: what to check out, which branch(es)
to fix bugs in, and what to do with code in the experimental subdirectory
which only works with the maintenance branch.

It would be great if someone who knows could summarize:

- the goals and specific elements of the refactoring represented by the
trunk;

- its status, relative to those goals;

- advice about how to handle this going forward.

I don't know if anyone but Alex understands this fully, but I know at least
some other developers know much more about how these branches differ than I
do.

I think the near-term highest priority in the code, besides fixing
individual bugs, is getting it back to a state of having only one important
branch -- that is, either abandoning the trunk (reverting to the
1.1-maintenance branch) or finishing the trunk and abandoning further
development in the 1.1-maintenance branch.
