It's my pleasure to announce a new desktop's subproject: desktop-effects. |
2 |
The goal of this project is to maintain compiz and other 3D window managers. |

Actually there is a herd with same name for a some years, but herd maintainers |
5 |
was inactive and compiz was masked. |
6 |
I think that such kind of software must have better support in Gentoo, that's |
7 |
why i decide to start a project(permission on this was granted by jmbsvicetto, who |
8 |
took care about compiz for a quite long time). |

First of all, project will be focused on supporting compiz in actual state. |
11 |
For now it will be 0.8.x branch, because 0.9.x is quite unstable |
12 |
(but it is already in our project's overlay, so feel free to build and test it). |

|
14 |
Also we are always look for some cool stuff, which brings nice 3D and compositing features |
15 |
into Gentoo Linux desktop. |
