I'm not sure what you mean by supported. I'm not maintaining them but they're implemented as a plugin and I support all plugins as long as they are legal (not violating any license or so). I don't know if these bindings are being updated but I do remember helping out with adjusting the plugin loading code in compiz core to make it possible to implement plugin-loader plugins like the one included with compiz-sharp so I know that the design of this plugin loader is good and it shouldn't require any changes to the current core to get working. > 2. Would being written in compiz-sharp alone be enough to stop a > plugin from being included in the official package? No. I'm interested in including the compiz-sharp bindings in the official repository if someone could get get them up to date and be willing to help with maintaining them. If the compiz-sharp bindings are in the repository then there's no reason why we can't include C# plugins. > 3. Do you think it is a good idea to use compiz-sharp for writing a plugin? Yes, I think it's a good idea to use a higher level language than C for plugins. A lot of things in compiz core can be made more convenient and less hard to understand when wrapped in a language like C#. > > The details of the project are here: > > http://www.ndesk.org/CompizSharp > > but as far as I can see, nothing has been checked into the git tree > since August. Anyone interested in helping out with these bindings should contact Alp Toker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> who wrote them. -David _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
