compiz.org hasn't been updated properly in almost half a decade, and there's a lot of misleading or downright wrong information out there right now.
There's a launchpad ticket on it [1], but the subject isn't quite covered by a simple bug as it stands. First thing first: Compiz has been using version 0.9 for almost half a decade, and clearly deviated from past conventions of using 0.<odd> for development and 0.<even> for stable. In addition, a fourth digit has been added. In the long run I'd like to see the project drop the fourth digit and instead go back to actively using the digits we have available. Adding a digit instead of bumping the ones we have seems pretty silly. In the short run, though, we should update compiz.org to reflect reality. I'm a bit conflicted as to what to put there. On one side I'm not very happy that the project moved from an independent system to the canonical/Ubuntu-umbrella, on the other hand, it's been 4+ years so it's a bit late for regrets. I suggest we remove most of the broken parts of the web page (tweets, planet, latest commits), Nuke most of the text and put up: - A simple text explaining what Compiz is - A link to the latest version, stable and development (if there are two) - A link to the launchpad bug tracker and source repo - Information about #compiz and #compiz-dev - A short text outlining the difference between unity and compiz (to avoid confusion) - A reference to this list - I've been told it's still watched by current maintainers to some degree (if not, then I guess I'm talking to an empty room, in which case, who are you?) - A big statement warning users that the wiki might be out of date. I am willing to do all this, if I'm granted access. If nobody protests, I will ask our benevolent sysadmin-dictator to set it up for me. On an other note, I am also planning to do some light work on Compiz itself (seeing as how Debian now longer ships with Compiz, I was forced to do something for practical reasons). More on this later, but to begin with it'll probably be what I started with in 2006: Build stuff and fixing breakages. (It would be nice if I could get ccp to not segfault, for instance).
