Hi, I keep my comments short since I prefer a community driven decision supported by the majority. This surely makes things slower but at least it's better supported.

Andreas can shutdown Yoper in New Zealand, he does own www.yoper.com and he does still pay ftp.yoper.com the main ftp and mirror of Yoper . So he does donate heavily. He is paying 1/3 of the costs that Yoper does face. However it is out of his reach to affect www.yoper.de and www.yoper.com.br ( as of now ) .

I don't make any rules I just do proposes , hoping they suit Yoper and a big part of the Yoper community (surely not all). If I believe in an idea I fight for it, like anybody else should do. About XGL there might be a real good chance that it does indeed work faster for quite a number of machines. Yet, we have to test it. Given the fact that plenty of work is left to be done anyway, I don't see any reason not doing it. It is built in a way not to effect the current installation of X so we have really the option to do switch between the 2 X versions. Andreas, honestly I can't get it, why you behave this way now that Yoper does more and more become a community driven project. You're really falling especially in my back because you're directly threaten the work I've done so far to give Yoper a development community. In the meantime Yoper has plenty of people improving it. You directly offend them. Why ? cheers -- Tobias Gerschner Member of Board of Yoper Ltd. NZ Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
