As already written in another mail to a different thread, this just means, that noone of us explicitly wants to take that task. Some desired features for the sprite and scene system were discussed earlier [0], so you might want to read through that thread. > Conversely, if no mentor is available, I'd like to work on the > "pgreloaded example suite". I'll be happy to study pgreloaded and > build a set of helpful examples. I added some minor notes regarding that task in another thread [1] already, but will shortly summarise it. The example suite should * cover each bit of the pgreloaded Python API with at least one fully functional example demonstrating each aspect of the specific method, class or library part * contain lots of inline code documentation for starters * have a good-looking example application that allows beginners to browse and execute the existing, small examples. This will fill the purpose of being a fully integrated, more complex and advanced example, ideally covering multiple aspects of the library at once. Some complained off-list to me that this sounds like a much too easy task not worth being three months of work, but it targets explicitly at beginners, for whom it might be a more than just typing code :-).
