[Soc-2012-dev] Reviewing and merging summer of code projects

[Benoit Bolsee]

Actually the hive system project is 90% out of blender. The part that is
in blender is very small and consists in a single patch to allow passing
game control to a python script and a couple of API functions to execute
the game logic step from python. The details are visible here:

http://projects.blender.org/scm/viewvc.php?view=rev&root=bf-blender&revi
sion=47084

I would like to apply this patch to trunk already for 2.64, it will make
testing of the hive system much easier for people at BA. The patch
introduces no backward compatibility in games and does not affect
blender in any way.

> * Multitouch: not finished yet, but student will keep working on it.

> * Smoke Simulator: assuming Miika and Daniel will handle this.
> 
> ## Bratwurst Branch ##
> 
> * User Interface: it's unclear how much of this can be merged 
> over, Campbell and Sergey look into it.
> * FBX Import: not finished yet. Campbell is interested in reviewing.
> * Texture workflow & tool development: Sergey will review, 
> Brecht will also look at this.
> * Collada Improvements: assuming Tom will review.
> 
> ## Sushi Branch ##
> 
> * Precision Modeling tools: assuming Martin will review, if 
> not Campbell can.
> * Mesh Smoothing: assuming Daniel will review, Brecht can 
> review as well.
