Re: [Openexr-devel] Willing to help

[Drew Hess]

Hi Rodrigo, thanks for the offer.  I'll try to prepare a TODO list and 
post it at the CVS site so that people who're willing to help can find 
tasks.  One thing that'll definitely be needed is testing and building of 
CVS source before releases.  I've got a few different platforms here at 
work, but I can't cover everything.

Here's a start for the TODO list:

- it'd be great if "make dist" would create pre-packaged libs, includes,
  and binaries on the various platforms: an RPM in Linux (use a .spec
  file), a zip file in Windows, a .pkg file in OS X, and a .tar.gz file
  for everything else (IRIX etc.)
- need a FAQ for this mailing list and for general OpenEXR questions
- an ImageMagick plugin
- a Maya plugin
- a Houdini plugin (someone may be working on this one already)
- a Quicktime plugin (someone may be working on this one already)
- exr2tiff, tiff2exr (support 32-bit float TIFFs, especially)
- Python bindings
- More C bindings beyond ImfCRgbaFile
- some standards for OpenEXR attributes.  Start with a discussion of
  what attributes are needed.
