Uh-oh - I guess I'm going to regret this... well, anyway...

*(takes deep breath)*

So I want radiosity fully working ASAP in the 3.7 SMP, someone said there's
already a suggestion how to do it but there's a lack of manpower to do it, and
my secret identity happens to be that of a software developer with some C/C++
skills...

.... so what's the deal to get myself involved in this one?

- Who's that "Christoph" who is said to have sketched some solution already?
- What's the current status?
- Where's development happening?

Just get the source code from the beta page and start working on it. It does 
not matter which version of the 3.7 beta source code you use, as the 
relevant parts are in very few files. Once it all works properly, send the 
changed files (no diffs, please!) to the POV-Team. Not much more to say, 
really ;-)

I see... you didn't mention this Christoph guy though, or the idea he allegedly
had already...?

Is there a list of other POV-Team members and their e-mail addresses somewhere?

Hum...

.... is there something like, say... erm... a kind of SW architecture document
type of thing? Module interface specifications? Anything that comes somewhere
close?

(No? Oh, ok... why am I not too surprised?)

You're welcome to email me if you wish, just use the de-mangled version of
the address in the header of this message.
