I think that before starting any discussion on MESA, the list should
decide
1) on the toolkit to use (if Windows portability is of any concern,
wxWindows may be well suited, if not GTK (http://www.gimp.org) seems
to become the shooting star, as it is strongly enforced by debian and
Red Hat, Motif is even viable, as a free replacement exists
(http://www.lesstif.org), KDE put octave in it's todo list for
adapting to the KDE desktop environment (http://www.kde.org)).
2) how to handle graphics: (continue to use gnuplot, using GNU
plotutils for 2D and Mesa for 3D, writing a new graphics handling)
As far as I have the time (I have a full time job) I would like to
participate in the graphics handling, since Octave is one of the
packages I use most and I like most.

Mesa is definitely interesting, but I have no current plans to write
an interface to it for Octave, nor do I know of anyone else working on
such a project. But if anyone is interested in working on a project
like this, please contact me.
