A Look at the Compiz and Beryl Merger

invisibastard writes to mention that Linux Tech Daily has an editorial on the merger between Compiz and Beryl. "This state of affairs was a shame. Something that was finally getting the general public excited about Linux, the 3D desktop, was wasting time with duplication of effort and fighting. There were concerns about the long term viability of Beryl. The perception in the community overall was, Compiz = old and stale, Beryl = fresh and exciting. This despite the feeling in the Compiz community that the "real work" was being done by David Reveman and Compiz, and there were exciting things with Compiz core (like input redirection, etc...) on the horizon."

    I'd love to see common driver abstraction layer implemented so the BSD projects can share drivers without reimplementation, this would free up a lot of developers to do real kernel work.

    you can buy a new toyota yaris in Southern California (stick shift) for about $12,500

    That's putting it on the very low end for new cars.
