Hello MeeGo developers,
first let me introduce myself. My name is Martin Gräßlin, I am an active
member of the KDE community and currently maintainer of the KDE Plasma window
manager and compositor KWin.
KWin is the reason why I am writing to you today. Over the last months the
KWin team has been working on porting our compositor to OpenGL ES 2.0 with EGL
and OpenGL 2 with GLX. Today we announced [1] that the porting
effort is finished, the source code imported into git master and the next KDE
Platform release will include a compositor supporting OpenGL ES 2.0 and on the
desktop default to OpenGL 2.
I would like to offer KWin for inclusion in MeeGo and become a participant in
the MeeGo project. Personally, I think that KWin would be an excellent
sollution for the use cases MeeGo faces, particularly across the wide variety
of device form factors. MeeGo is bringing Linux to many of the same places
that we have been working on bringing KWin to, and so it feels like an
excellent and natural opportunity to work together.
Let me just outline some of the advanced features KWin provides:
* more than 12 years experience in the field of window management
* as a window manager rock solid, feature complete and very fast
* ICCCM and EWMH compliant
* more than three years experience in OpenGL based compositing and even longer
support for XRender based compositing
* an easy to use plugin system for compositing effects. Right now we are
shipping more than 40 effects
* support for plugin based (Qt/C++) window decorations as well as various
theme engines
* only window manager as part of a desktop shell which empraces Qt technology
* support of advanced window management functionality such as window tabbing
and window tiling
* JavaScript based scripting engine
* many, many more

Has anyone tried to package this for meego yet? What additional deps
does this introduce?
