So you support the statement that we are _two_ communities: the core-
and the extras-community???

Yes, I can remember that. Maybe you remember that we described the
future of compiz and the compiz-community in that document. Meanwhile
things seem to have changed a bit ... I think the document should
reflect that.

My objections (before it got announced) were simply ignored by you:

(RYX, 4th April): "... maybe we should use "compiz-community" instead of
"compiz-extra" - there is no compiz-extra division atm. It is a little
misleading if we talk about merging something that doesn't exist and
many people misunderstand the whole compiz-extra plan."

btw: This terminology-problem with calling the whole thing
"compiz-extra" caused us an incredible amount of misunderstanding and
confusion - it could have been avoided with editing ten letters.

This is just one of my rather tiny complains you ignored - there were
some more.

Of course - Mike and me are always the bad boys who only complain and
are soooo unconstructive ... (surprisingly enough we were right with a
vast majority of the things we complained about). This argument gets
pretty boring with the time.
