I think people were trying to get a hold of you somehow but felt no communication.
Although I support beryl in terms of the community and packaging, I'm trying not to play sides.
I'd like everyone to rally around compiz but it would be nice more of the compiz plumbing was in place so
that none of the decisions beryl made would have needed such a fork in the first place.

I'm not sure they didn't try. It was more of not knowing what you were planning on
adding to compiz. It's that mis-communication that made things tense.

I am glad your spending more time on compiz now and are being responsive to
people. 

In the end, I would like to see compiz become the primary composite manager.
I guess in some ways, the fork has induced change in compiz and that was
really the idea.
