[Compcomm] What the hell?

I agree with delfick. All were doing is argueing over our goals and such and
not doing anything to improve the project. I must say that over 2 weeks of
git checkouts, Compiz has become worse and worse and worse. The whole
project is not completely f***ed up because NOBODY knows what they're doing.
I have said this time and time before on the forums and IRC and I'll say it
now on the ML.

David needs to get involved and sort us out.

This whole merge thing has become much like a soap opera where NOBODY
listens to each other. The hierarchy of Compiz and Beryl right now are much
this

David Reveman >> QuinnStorm + imnotpc >> RYX, Mikedee, MacSlow (Whoever else
that is a compiz-extra dev) + Roico, Maniac103, KristanLy, Onestone,
Reggemau >> The users.

As you can see, EVERYBODY will listen to David instead of right now everyone
deciding who they'll listen to. So just let him step in and sort us out.
(And if he doesn't want to then ask him nicely)

So lets just step back and take suggestions and figure out who the hell is
doing what.

http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?t=869

Topics like these are the RIGHT thing to do. Now we just need to sticky it
and have a topic like this for

Setup Method
Major Plugins
Decorator
Documenataion
Webpage

Then we will have a wiki page called "Developer sign-ups" where devopers can
put thier names down for those respective projects.

Also there seems to be two main interpretations about the goals right now

One is to have a core and a huge bundle of unrelated plugins much like
firefox
Two is to use those plugins to provide "features" that intergrate well with
the core.

We should have a vote on this. Can somebody set up a poll?

Also I like cyberorgs Idea to vote on the name. Suggestions for the POLL
options can be put in a forum topic.
