[compiz] Regarding freedesktop.org and Compiz

2009-02-11 Thread Kristian Lyngstol
We were a little imprecise in our original announcement with regards to moving away from freedesktop.org, which seems to have caused some confusion. We are only moving away from the freedesktop.org infrastructure. NOT the standards. By moving away from freedesktop.org, we are: - Shutting down bu

[compiz] Advice to plugin developers during 0.9

As 0.9 will contain numerous core-changes which are likely to affect both behavior and plugin development, the recommended way of developing new plugins throughout 0.9 will be to use the released developer versions, NOT master. The exceptions are plugins that are already part of the release and pl

[compiz] Place plugin

2009-02-07 Thread Kristian Lyngstol
I thought we removed place, or was that something that was agreed but never executed? The plugin has been virtually untouched since wall and expo got popular, and I don't really want to support it for 0.8. Unless someone has any strong objections, it'll be removed later this evening. I'm sorry ab

[compiz] Release plans for Compiz 0.8.0

The Compiz 0.8.0 release will be the first release to include what was formerly known as Compiz Fusion. A complete feature and string freeze for Compiz 0.8 is in effect from Friday 5th of February, 23:59 GMT. I urge anyone with patches to submit them ASAP, regardless of their state. During most

I've been trying to come up with some good coding standards, but I've realized that most of us already know most of this. So instead of trying to define every aspect of how we code Compiz-code, I'll try to outline some of the finer points. For a more complete list, you can review any of the many co

Where are we going? It's time to start thinking ahead and really figure out how to make Compiz survive, specially in lieu of Dennis' suggestion. The reality is that there has been the equivalent of no progress since the merge. We've basically only been in maintenance mode. The reason for this, fr

Excuse the cross posting, but it underlines the entire point quite nicely. After the merge of Compiz and Beryl, we've still got two projects. That in itself isn't a huge problem, but it's a bit problematic with regards to mail (what list to choose?) and bug trackers. Since we get very little traf

Enhanced Zoom of Compiz Fusion currently offers all the functionality that Desktop Zoom has, and then some. It's already heavily used as a default zoom plugin, and having two zoom plugins only acts to confuse users and increase the amount of code to maintain. Unless someone has some strong objecti
