Re: OpenGL Version in Mesa 9.1 at 2.1

Haha funny i wondered this same thing recently when trying to upgrade to
3.3+ on open drivers for an OpenGL course.

I would love to know more about the work needed to be done to reach this
version.

Maybe you should put up some kind of summary page of the current status +
roadmap, or just a list of bugs/tasks that have to be done,
i would love to contribute wherever i can.

I'm skilled in C++ and OpenGL, but not really firmiliar with inner workings
of mesa.

Thanks!
