[Bf-committers] yafray code maintenance

[Alfredo de Greef]

Hi, 

So what about Lynx then? Did he already discuss this
topic? I mailed him but didn't get a response, but I
see he has answered a question in the yafray forums,
so he probably has read it by now.
Did he decline? Or does he think he is not ready for
it yet?

I thought the whole idea of what he was doing was to
make a more general render API.
