But I will repeat what I've been saying all along -
Talk. To Graf.
He's really not an evil guy. Explain your reasoning, justify your thoughts, he's usually very willing to work with people as long as you show him some respect (something that a lot of people who complain about him do not show, I've noticed).
If Graf won't make the thread, perhaps Wildweasel will - I know it will get used either way.
I know Graf isn't evil and I'm certainly not complaning. I like the dude, in fact. But I'm not talking about reopening the feature suggestions, as that'd be useless if nobody wants to work on them. With only dpJudas on the case atm, it's not gonna be long before he goes "screw this shit, I'm going home" when the suggestions start coming in the dozens. After you guys discussed it and I read it carefully, it does indeed seem best to just create a thread in case some features slip past the lockdown. Other than that, I don't think there's much else to do, really. It's been made clear that migrating the forums will most likely cause a confusion rather then clarity, and duplicating them would ensure total chaos for Graf. Better not drive him crazy.
As for where I stand - I'm for making a thread that gets updated by people who do improvements on the GL renderer. It shouldn't necessarily be maintained by only one person. If Graf adds something, post update. If dpJudas adds something else, update again. It's all for the sake of being known. It's not really that much of a bother, imho, as long as the work is split and doesn't fall on a single person's shoulders.
