http://lwn.net/Articles/228165/ This is a special feed containing comments posted to the individual LWN article titled "Beryl and Compiz: back together again?". hourly 2 http://lwn.net/Articles/228870/rss 2007-04-02T20:56:15+00:00 bronson Why would you want to use brand names for the subcomponents of a project? That would be like calling kernel/drivers "Alchemy," or /usr/share/doc "Brontosaurus." Yes, they're much more trademarkable, but does that really help anything?<br> <p> http://lwn.net/Articles/228862/rss 2007-04-02T19:36:18+00:00 holstein The words "core" or "plugins" could be found hard to defend as brand names.<br> http://lwn.net/Articles/228752/rss 2007-03-31T17:18:54+00:00 bronson Why not call the core "core" and the plugins "plugins"?<br> <p> That just sounds like needless jargon to me.<br> http://lwn.net/Articles/228724/rss 2007-03-31T09:54:06+00:00 erwbgy Really? I hadn't heard of Beryl until I read this article, but I had <br> heard of Compiz.<br> <p> Calling the core Compiz and the plugins Beryl, as suggested above, sounds <br> sensible to me.<br> http://lwn.net/Articles/228489/rss 2007-03-29T20:23:53+00:00 Hawke If you had read the article linked to by the vandalism text, you'd have seen that the person in question publicly apologized and stepped down as a forum admin.<br> http://lwn.net/Articles/228393/rss 2007-03-29T14:37:45+00:00 dank At the moment, Beryl is much better known. The<br> main project should switch its name to Beryl to capture<br> the better brand awareness.<br> <p> <p> http://lwn.net/Articles/228308/rss 2007-03-29T08:53:30+00:00 PhilHannent [Disclaimer] I have no affiliation with any of these groups.<br> <p> Personally I think they should stick with Compiz. The reason being that time and money probably has already been spent with lawyers and trademark people to ensure the name is ok to use for the project. Picking a new name surely would require more cost which would take money away from where its needed.<br> <p> http://lwn.net/Articles/228307/rss 2007-03-29T08:44:32+00:00 alonso I have read somewhere that the name will be Coral....very fine.<br> <p> http://lwn.net/Articles/228300/rss 2007-03-29T08:17:51+00:00 ldo <P>I'm assuming that the Compiz person responsible for mutilating the Beryl databases has been sacked. I can't imagine any Beryl folk agreeing to work with a team that still contains such a person. http://lwn.net/Articles/228279/rss 2007-03-29T05:06:30+00:00 flewellyn Precisely what I was going to suggest. "Compiz window manager with Beryl plugins" or <br> somesuch.<br> http://lwn.net/Articles/228258/rss 2007-03-29T01:21:04+00:00 felixfix Use "compiz" for "-core", and "-beryl" for "-extras".<br>
