Finally the announcement is made that Compiz and Beryl communities will be joining forces.
Compiz, the core will be developed as it is currently, lead by David Reveman of Novell and hosted at the freedesktop.org, most of the Beryl developers now have commit access and are already porting over changes from Beryl.
Many of the Beryl plugins have been ported to work with Compiz and are temporarily hosted on git repository at beryl-project.org. Main technical difference between the ported plugins and plugins in Compiz core is the use of BCOP options instead of gconf schemas. There is no settings utility available yet for end user to customize preferences.
For the settings frontend a library is under heavy development called libbs which can use ini, gconf or kconfig backends to store user preferences. Its code can be fetched from here: http://gitweb.beryl-project.org/
We are obviously headed for much better composite desktop experience, wishing everyone the very best of luck.

Yeah, and after the hard-work-of-uniting-preparation, I hope you are to start to fix those 630 active bugs.
Or will you clear all and start the Tracker again because of the new name (and codebase)? I hope, not.

Congratulations! I really hoped this will happen. There are far too many competing projects in the FLOSS world, and far too many needs for first-hand pragmatic demands, that need developers attention. Diversity is good but a convergence would help.
