A Common Compositing Window Manager Specification

The proposed specification is based on KWin/Plasma interaction. So it's actually the other way around. I seriously doubt that this will become a standard as is.

I meant, it would be useful for Opensource development if, for some important pieces of software, there would be a shared interface, maybe with a different implementation.

It is only the first draft, let's wait to see happens.

This move should be the standard in Linux development. Give a common and uniform specification and then derive the software from it. This would incredibly help common work and reduce unnedeed duplicate work.

Oh no, that's no fun. It's much more entertaining to get a fledgling project going (Compiz), start bickering on IRC and listservs about minor functionality and direction, fork (Beryl), go a half of a year and then kiss and makeup, then spend another year merging the changes back in (Compiz Fusion).

Open source needs it soap operas. We need the existing development model!
