So… Any news on this ARB meeting that happened nearly 2 months ago? We were asked to contribute with extension ideas but I haven’t heard of any return on the ARB’s part.
I just wish we could have some idea of progress of OpenGL based on all the debate we have on the forum over future extensions and core features.
Also, usually it’s hard to get something perfectly right the first time. It would make sense to have some iterative process where we ask for stuff (with justifications) and some drafts are posted which can then further be debated.
What’s really unfortunate is that they use to be not super top secret but since they did such a bad communication around Long Peak, it became super top secret …
Also I think that if you take the information released like extensions or nVidia presentation we could ‘guess’ about what they are working on.
But I agree, an official report would be super nice to make the community happy. Yes, there is importante!
It would be great to see some new OpenGL pipeline newsletters appearing. I liked them very much. On the other hand, when new specs are released every 6 months, the wait for news never takes very long ;-).
