Compiz to fork to Beryl

A recent premature announcment on Compiz.net forum from reports that Compiz, of XGL eyecandy fame, is in the process of forking the project to "Beryl".

"All of the work that had been maintained as the community or 'quinn' tree of compiz has become Beryl. This change is necessitated by the difference in direction and vision of our community as compared with davidr/novell's approach."

"This is intentional, and done because we are NOT creating an "angry fork", we want to make sure to stay out of davidr's way."

A more complete announcment can be found here.

Why the (old womans) name Beryl? A search on Wikipedia shows that Beryl is a gemstone

"It has a vitreous lustre and can be transparent or translucent."

Seems appropriate, although personally I think "compiz-beryl" would have at least maintained some form of continuity thus avoiding confusion within the community.
