We currently are more focussing on improving Compiz. I'm also sure that David has his reasons for not accepting every patch. David is still the person who knows Compiz better than any person who has ever written a line of code for it, and he knows what will work, what will be stable and what will blend perfectly into the current codebase. I don't, if I speak for myself, and I doubt that many others do. I agree with you that currently the community-based versions (Quinn's and CoffeeBuzz's repos/overlays) are preferred, but that may change as soon as it turns out that Community-Compiz becomes unstable or turns out to be "spaghetti code" and not maintainable anymore. That's why I would appreciate informations about the patch standards, too, because it's somehow frustrating to know beforehand that the work you did during the last weeks will end up in the trash can and someone else rewrites your patch from scratch. As far as my work on g-w-d is concerned, it is almost a complete rewrite and I use the naming conventions that I'm used to and that seem sensible to me and no one can keep me from doing this. So long...
