Just examples. I am interested in threading it, but that's a bigger job
than someone unfamiliar with code base can dream of taking on. Dual (or
quad) CPUs aren't much of a boon without actually using any concurrency.
Essentially, I'm most interested in finding ways of squeezing
performance out of it to match what the video card can actually do. I
know it can be faster than 6fps on a 256MB ATI HD2600 with all
enhancements turned off!
I'm also interested in reducing / eliminating the dependence on licensed
technology in the viewer, so if someone grabs the code they don't need
to worry about something not working because a proprietary bit wasn't
included in the source release. FMod / Vivox are two examples.
Those are where I'd like to go, but as far as I'd get with any of it is
really very much up in the air. I always have 50+ projects in the works.
That's kind of why I was thinking of finding a clearing-house for
people's ongoing viewer projects, so that if I found myself with the
extra time to help out with something then I could pick & choose where I
could do the most good.

Hey all.. new to the sldev group. Been lurking for all of about 24 hrs.
Is there a place with a list of ongoing viewer projects somewhere?
For example:
1. Bubba McGreasy - OSS voice replacement
2. Jeeves Jones - new memory manager
3. Francois Freepy - multi-threaded renderer
4. Someone OnJira - OAL replacement for FMod
No. Anything in particular you're interested in? Are the ones above
just examples or do you want to know about them specifically?
Mike
