  Description     : VulkanSceneGraph (VSG), is a modern, cross platform, high performance scene graph library built upon Vulkan graphics/compute API.

The project aims to bring the performance of Vulkan to the wider developer community by providing a modern, 
high quality software library that is easy to use and focused on making the development of high performance 
graphics and compute applications a productive and fun experience. Sharing the same lead author as the 
OpenSceneGraph, all the lessons about software quality, performance and the needs of application developers 
are applied to VulkanSceneGraph to provide a distillation of what a next gen scene graph needs to be.

Extra Info:
 - VSG will be used by OpenMW as it is a replacement for the current OSG library.
 - osgEarth will probably transition to vsgEarth as well.
 - Co-maintainers from OSG welcome.
 - I would maintain it and hopefully members of the games-team as well.
 - Sponsors always welcome.
