[osg-users] Feedback/guidance sought on move of osgQt out into it's own project/repository

[Robert Osfield]

HI Mathieu,

Thanks for offering to help out.

I agree the easiest way to create an osgQt project would be to clone
the whole OSG then cut down and then replace the CMake build to be a
bit more streamlined.  I have written other NodeKits that have have
relatively straight forward CMake build.

I could tackle this and then let others clone my cut down version, or
others could just directly do there own clone and cutdown.

Another area for discussion would be where to host the main version of
the new osgQt, we could have in the openscenegraph account alongside
the OSG, or have it live entirely separately.  I am not clear on how
fine grained we can make the permissions on projects within the
openscenegraph account so an entirely separate repository might be
best w.r.t permissions.

Robert.
