I've seen that a lot of inaccurate and faulty information about this. All technical reasons (alternative configuration system, alternative decorator, xinerama...) for this fork are incorrect and I know that at least Quinn Storm is aware of this, based on a phone conversation we had last week. I've designed compiz to be extremely extensible. The plugin system should allow people to do almost anything and I've put high priority in making sure that it got updated when I or someone else found something that couldn't be done with it. People can choose whatever development methods they want and put whatever code they want into plugins. With a few notable exceptions, most of the code I've seen going into what is now beryl is not high quality code that would be considered for compiz.
I take seriously the feedback from the community that they would like to see more open communication from me about the compiz roadmap and what I'm working on. I'll do my best to improve this in the future, and I'm always open to discussion about where compiz should go! I'll continue to develop compiz and it looks like I'll be able to spend more time on it from now on. I welcome contributions of new functionality to compiz and if you have a plugin that you think should be in the compiz repository I'll add it. -David _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
