please guide me on this...what I have to do to set a box for development
on compiz?? (official cvs repository, compilationlanguage, etc), please
if yuo guide me on this I can relly help you, I have severall ideas but
I dont know how to integrate this ideas into compiz or xgl..pluggin?,
how?, documentation?, etc...
Well, I'm by no means a compiz developer. I'd like to be but just
haven't got the time due to other projects I am currently commited to.
If you want to work on compiz tho' and discuss your ideas for new
plugins etc. the best place is either this list or the forums over at
http://www.compiz.net/ - this is the home of the Quinn Compiz semi-fork
of compiz which has many user submitted modifications to compiz to make
it do more fancy stuff NOW!! We all know an appreciate that David et.
al. have larger plans for Xgl/Compiz and while it has really been quite
amazing that so many people have wanted to make compiz better, a lot of
their contributions do not fit right now with the direction of the main
program, hense why the Quinn Compiz version was created. It's not really
a fork, as it tries to keep up to date with the vanilla version too,
it's more like a instant gratification branch :)
So if you've got new plugins etc. it is quite likely that they will be
adopted into the QUinn version.
Go along to the forums and introduce yourself and you'll soon get to
know who the big contributers over there are.
Anyone think this is bad advice? I hope not. David, do you think this is
the correct pointer for new people/do you approve etc.?
Col.
