[Bsod-mentors] BSoD proposal

[Eugene Reilly]

1)  I think Ryan's animation proposal looks very nice and is definitely well 
thought out.  His current wiki (that describes up to the rigging section) is 
also quite extensive, so he knows the material.  I also like how he intends 
to not use his wiki tutorial "as is" but instead will write a more 
comprehensive work.  His idea of later modules is also nice, so once this 
project is over he (and hopefully others) will likely still continue adding 
to it.

2)  Matt's proposal is definitely a good idea, and since the scope is more 
broad now, this kind of "cleaning house" is certainly a must.

3)  Felipe's proposal deals with a subject I really enjoy - the physics and 
mathematic principles behind the tools used in 3D.  This kind of information 
will also really bring a new dimension Blender's particles and bodies.  
However, I don't think it will directly document Blender usage to those 
looking to learn.  So, I would love to see this done (especially because 
Felipe is the right man for the job), but I don't think it will really 
forward learning Blender unless he puts a lot more focus on the usage of 
particles and bodies in Blender.  Of course, with the scope broadening, 
maybe there is room for this now.

4)  So from the proposals received, I see that there are 4 proposals that 
seem ready to be implemented and 2 maybes:

Ready:
-Tim Baldridge's Python
-Matt's Wiki Formating
-Ryan Dale's Animation
-Mal's Game Engine

Maybe:
-Felipe's Math and Physics
-JimC's Re-do of his Blender Basics Proposal (on the condition that he 
focuses on a major aspect of Blender rather than a re-write of his manual - 
though he hasn't gotten back to us about that)

Am I missing one?

Umm, wow, another great proposal, character animation is not really my 
domain, so I'd appreciate comments on its scope, but otherwise, it looks 
very promising.

Hi,

Here's my proposal for the Blender Summer of Documentation entitled "A
Character Animation Tutorial: Standing on the Shoulders of Gus". 

Thanks,
-Ryan
