I second that. compiz needs an appealing web-presence (a bit more
flashy than the typical projects hosted at fdo :) that reflects the
visual impact it has on the "general desktop experience" (yay for
buzz-word mayhem ;)
As a gerneral guide-line how it could be structured, have a look at...
http://www.jokosher.org
This sites offers everything in nice handy portions for people
interested in support, tips&tricks, development and general contribution
pointers. With this in place it would be the right hub for pointing
potential new developers to this mailing-list, online-docs for coding,
for new/existing users present new flashy plugins with an example
screencast ("featured plugin of the week" :) and so on.
Another thing, which might be regarded as superfluous (as it serves no
real technical purpose), but worth considering. Give compiz a genuine
logo to identify it with. The beryl-project is doing the right thing in
that area (using gem-stones for its various parts). They try to define a
"brand" or general distincive logo/symbol to identify it with. compiz is
an empty void in space in that regard, thus unattractive as a project on
first sight. I assume this is needed to make compiz as is "attractive"
to gather a community around it.
Just to eliminate any false hopes... with this posting I'm not
volunteering to do this though. I'm merely dopping this suggestion :)
Best regards...
MacSlow
