Hello!

Maybe this is bad question, but talking about the promising projects, what's the 
current state of input transformations? In my opinion, these would be definitely 
attractive to revisit!

I'm completely off the picture by now but I remember the Compiz developers were 
still waiting for some changes to the X system to allow this. However, I have 
had an idea:

As far as I understand, the GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension was David 
Reveman's idea after all, wasn't it? So it could be said it was implemented in 
the drivers for the purpose of simplifying composite managers, especially 
Compiz. Couldn't the Compiz developers similarly implement the input 
transformations backend as an extension to X, or is it impossible this way?

Best regards and good luck with all the new effort,
Vašek P.
