Re: [pygame] A simple OpenGL pygame alpha blending example

["Mike C. Fletcher" <mcfletch@rogers.com>]

There were a few people who stepped up saying that would be a good thing 
when I did a call for volunteers a few months ago, but as of yet, no OS 
X work that I'm aware of.  Since I don't have a Mac at all (though I've 
been dreaming of a TiBook ever since my friend picked one up), it's not 
something I can fix.

I don't suppose you happen to have a more detailed description of what 
failed and where on hand?  Would be helpful to that that information in 
the bug-tracker so that if I can rope someone into doing a few hours 
work all they need to do is look at a fully-described error report and 
fix the problem, rather than needing to muck about finding the problem 
first and finding people to contact about the problem (for testing, more 
info, etceteras).  (It's a psychological thing, I can point to the one 
outstanding task and say "Really, all I need from you is one little fix 
for one little bug, that one, right there.  See, it's so tiny, won't 
take but a minute, all the information is right there, and if you enjoy 
that, then we'll talk about a long-term commitment :o) .")

(BTW: for those who caught it, yes, I was wrong when I said Rene or Tarn 
had checked in the other fix, I checked it in between writing those two 
paragraphs).

TiBook donations cheerfully accepted ;) ,
