Hello there!
First of all, let me tell you how impressed I am by the amount AND quality of the work your team has already undertaken.
I have recently been on a quest to find a quality game engine with python binding, and a first look at what you are doing has ejected Panda3D and Crystal-Space in the dustbin (my personal opinion).
You have taken the "best of the best" opensource game modules, and managed to bind them in a coherent python environment. You deserve much credit for this!!!
Anyway, enough butt licking already! Here is where I come from:
For the past 3 years I have been lead programmer on a game project called "Savage XR".
A great deal of information is available on this youtube site (http://www.youtube.com/user/HurlyBurly3027).
The Game was commercial at first, until the company donated the C/C++ source code to a core of community members.
We continued improving the game overtime, but have always suffered from the fact that the code is closed source.
So I am now planning to start again from scrath, and going opensource this time.
The OpenRTSS project will focus on delivering a "RealTime Strategy Shooter" game engine, based on the Savage game concept.
The ultimate aim is to promote this very unique and exciting type of gaming, through an easily mod-able engine.
I just wanted to let you know that I have decided to build OpenRTSS around Python-Ogre.
In turn, this means that I will take an active interest in improving the engine alongside you guys.
I will give more details about the project on this thread in the near future.
In the meantime, please keep up the good work guys!
