Thanks! I appreciate that you took the time to create and maintain the page; it was useful to me.

I'm glad people are finding them useful; I'd just like to point out that I'm not the only person maintaining the page, as Marcin Slusarz and Alan Coopersmith are fixing up my errors.

For me, the most exciting item on the agenta was .. the book sprint:

Stephane Marchesin's PDF document (http://people.freedesktop.org/~marcheu/linuxgraphicsdrive...) is a great start, and I'm looking forward to seeing the result of the book sprint on the X.org site soon.

I've just spend the last 2 weeks scraping together info from all over the internet to get an overall picture of graphics on Linux, and have no idea how people get started as developers in this area when the entrance barrier is so high..
