Just as a *giggle* while this can be taken in any context - just -when- is
development on 1.3 going to publicly start?  And what's needed to consider
1.2 finalized?

This is a question that's been popping up every now and again....

TODO for 1.2?
TODO for 1.3?
whims?  dreams?  for 1.3

I'd like to see MIDI keyboard interaction - and unlike those picky people
I -don't- need high realtime.  Just that it works.  (I want to use my MIDI
keyboard for programming animations / choreography in 3D :)
I mean if I just wanted music editing I'd use a standard program (wait a
sec - I haven't found one -yet- that works under linux *sigh*)
(personally I think this is acceptable as an external library - or a 1.2
feature as it doesn't require changing anything in the core.  I'd rather
it -not- be tied into SDL_mixer or any other soundsystem as MIDI does
-not- guarantee it's use in sound - it's also used in robotics controls :)

Anyhoo, G'day, eh? :)
