Beryl and Compiz to combine forces

Posted By dragon_788 On May 23, 2007 @ 8:36 pm In Software, Technology, General | No Comments

Recently, discussions between [1] Beryl and Compiz have led to an agreement to merge the two projects. “This project, going by the temporary name of “Composite Community”, will be based on the latest Compiz core and will provide the ‘best’ plugins, decorators, settings tools, and related applications from each community.”^{[2] [1]}^{[3] [2]}^{[4] [3] (from [5] wikipedia)}

As of March 30th Beryl and Compiz have decided to merge their projects back into one. Much work has yet to be done, but the beryl forums are no longer active as the project is being shutdown in favor a new merged project. The Compiz team has decided to work with the Beryl team and implement many of the changes beryl made ^{[6] [9]}. (again [7] wikipedia)
