However I know that these things will fade and I will need something else to take the place. Usually what has worked for me in the past was to set milestones. These will act as roots, keeping me interested in being involved. After all in words better than mines.<br /><blockquote><i>We all “scratch our own itches”.

+<h1>Alpha Release of new API</h1>After a considerable amount of hacking and rewriting we have release the first development release of SDL perl on <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Ekthakore/SDL-2.3_1/">CPAN</a>. <br />
+<br />
+<h2>Overview of 2.3_1</h2>In this version our goal was to tackle the proper allocations and destruction of SDL resources. We have accomplished this for all SDL Core structures. Moreover we have also improved the test suite and documentation considerably. Please read the <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL-2.3_1/CHANGELOG">CHANGELOG</a> for a more detailed look. <br />
+<br />
+<br />
+<h2>Next steps</h2><ul><li>Complete bindings for Image, Mixer, ... so on</li>
+<li>Come up with a method to provide threading in callbacks</li>
+<li>Maintain and improve SDL Core as results for CPANTS come in </li>
+</ul><br />
