MeeGo for Netbooks 1.0 will definitely ship (and develop) Mutter and Clutter, and it is going to do so for the foreseeable future releases of MeeGo for Netbooks. Mutter is maintained on git.gnome.org, and under the governance of members of the GNOME community, so MeeGo has no direct influence on Mutter - not any more than MeeGo has influence on, say, Nautilus[0]. as a side, I'm personally trying to get Clutter's governance and contributions more open, and resolve the contributors agreement issue that has been raised by the Foundation; I might have an announcement on this regard soon. Not that my opinion matters, but I think these are all good questions. I agree, that's why I wanted to give an authoritative answer with my MeeGo developer/Intel employee hat on. ciao, Emmanuele. [0] just like with Nautilus, MeeGo ships Mutter with distribution-specific patches, especially considering the fairly different user experience we're trying to convey. whenever it makes sense, we upstream those patches as soon as we possibly can. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Module proposal: Mutter
Purpose: Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display engine using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic inherited from the Metacity window manager. While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be used as the display core of a larger system such as gnome-shell or Moblin. For this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which are used both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window management behaviors to meet the needs of the environment. Target: Desktop Release Set Dependencies: No dependencies beyond current GNOME modules and external dependencies. Note that Mutter currently depends on Metacity being installed for GConf schemas and other data files. Resource usage: tarballs:http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/mutter source control: git://git.gnome.org/mutter bugzilla:http://bugzilla.gnome.org, mutter product Adoption: Mutter packages exist for most major Linux distributions as part of packaging GNOME Shell. Mutter is also key component of the Moblin 2.0 and 2.1 releases. GNOME-ness / community: Since Mutter is derived from the Metacity code base, it should interact ideally with existing GNOME components and takes advantage of many years of bug fixing and development. ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
