I also agree with Marek FWIW.
If we want a cleaner / more agile code base, then we could fork off the
old mesa drivers which aren't being actively maintained/tested into a
separate branch, put them in just-bugfixes/no-new-features life support
mode; therefore allowing greater freedom to refactor s
Hello,
Thank you for your mail, it's exactly what I need to be able to find the right
GSoC project. I agree with you for most of the points, but I have some small
comments.

Denis,
I completely agree with Marek. It always sounds exciting to start
with a clean slate and disregard the "old" code but I don't think it's
the right move here.
A very large portion of the 4.1 core profile overlaps with the code we
have now and the code we need to write to support OpenGL 3.x
Hi Denis,
I don't think forking the current Mesa codebase and making a
Core-profile-only state tracker is a good idea. The OpenGL 4.1 Core and
Compatibility specifications have 518 and 678 pages, respectively, which
means more than 70% of the codebase would be the same. The Core profile is
not so
Sounds quite cool. This would definitely be a worthwhile project. My
only concern is that this would be too much work for a single summer.
Projects should err on the side of being too small rather than too
big.
I'd definitely recommend applying when applications are open.
