We essentially need some example game(s) for showing Linux game development
issues. Perhaps one medium-sized one ans some small ones demonstrating
specific issues (e.g. one focused on network play, one on 3D gfx etcetc)

I think that's actually *good*. I mean, the example games (and most of the
tutorials on this site) are targeted towards people new to Linux game
development. Now if some experienced person would write this stuff it's
very likely that it simply doesn't mention many traps etc "newbies" will
certainly run into. It's a bit difficult to explain - perhaps you still
have a much clearer view of what problems people new to Linux gamedev face,
because you're in that position yourself.
