waldo and i just got off the phone w/each other and we discusses, among other things, this topic being on the DDC... turns out i was hearing "let's talk about XGL/XEGL/EXA/compiz/etc" and waldo was more trying to saying something like "let's use a track to start finding some real world uses of the new capabilities emerging in X.org" for *that* topic, i'm certainly supportive. we can pull people in from the interface research community outside of open source even (both waldo and i came up with an example individual, actually =) as well as get the app developers thinking about and innovating around what we can now do on an X.org system. right now we are getting all these interesting new capabilities, but what will we *do* with them to justify the investment in them and to actually make more people (inc users) care? honestly, i don't even think the X.org devs who are doing this work have much of an idea on what app devs want out of it (i offer "wobbling windows" and "live thumbnails" as exhibits in this case ;) so this would likely be useful for that crowd too. so if we were to frame it as a track for advanced user interface concepts that build upon the emerging 3D / acceleration / composition technologies, i'm all in. -- Aaron J.
