TitaniumGL 3D drivers (linux version)

Kickstarter page then? If he agreed to it at least that would be one way to get alot of publicity and generate some cash for him to open source it.

Doesn't kickstarter disallow this? I think it's for stuff that doesn't exist yet (gaining funds in order to begin development). Not for stuff that already exists.

well i think they could do what the The Debian Administrator's Handbook did.

not sure if kickstarter allows it, but others do. i.e indiegogo, ulule, etc.

Who ever proposed merging it with Mesa?

Here and in the other thread some people think that the project is in any way useful to us, so I wanted to set things straight.

*cough* *cough* ... an english version of the code doesn't exist lol from what was said that would be a project. Perhaps I am wrong but kickstarter seems to be ok with such projects I didn't see anything in the guidlines I thintk it would be how you defined it though... pay to open souce titaniumGL vs Project to release titaniumGL source and translate it to english. Then it would have a defined beginning and end... the release of the source and completion of being translated to english.

Oh well... you guys were practically devolving into a flame war so I figured I might suggest some possible solution and as you said other sites definitly do allow such projects. I mean for crying out loud get a life people! I was reading stuff on the kwin developer's blog about TDE and basically how he is pissed off at them for renaming kwin to twin (sensible thing to do really..) and how he is throwing a tantrum and refusing to tell timothy pearson where some of the code he has changed will supposedly lead to twin not starting up X.x.

Oh well at least the guys working on mesa and X seem to generally have decent control over thier egos

*carry on* ... this is phoronix after all king of page views

This is realy interesting stuff - and extremly impressive considering it was written by a single developer.
