While I can't state much on the code issues (compiz++ looks to be a good move imho, adressing a lot of issues, but that's where my opinion ends), I'd like to add that I'm definitely willing to see a lot more of formality within Compiz and Compiz Fusion management. As far as I can see Kristian is going to release some plan really soon, and I hope that this is going to be followed by a clear roadmap and deadlines for at least the next year or so. Last, while I don't have much time for FOSS hacking these days, I'm definitely available for giving a hand at management & planning issues. Cheers, Guillaume
