Welcome from an old fart and a sleeper-agent, though we've crossed paths before of course ;) > There seem to be three different compiz mailing lists which cause confusion > for everyone.

I recently posted [1] on the compiz-fusion dev list about this precise issue. lists.compiz.org was set up as a direct result of that. The summary is: compiz-fusion and freedesktop are legacy and are going away. lists.compiz.org is the authoritative one but it's less than week old so not quite incorporated. It should be announced, though. (And yes, I just posted to it by accident when I mailed you...) I'm slowing picking up these bits, but as I'm not sysadminning I don't want to nag Guillaume constantly and these things take a bit of time. Guillaume: I can probably pitch in instead of constantly asking you to do stuff, we should talk about that... I'm not entirely incompetent as a sysadmin. > I'm wondering if there's any way to clarify where the other lists stand > and if we can do anything to better channel communication.

Glad to hear someone else say that too :) This was the major reason I suggested getting rid of "fusion" to begin with [2][3] because, just like you say, it's very confusing to new people.
