Bonjour journal,
 
 
Je sais pas si tu te rappelles, mais il y a avait eu des "histoires" au sujet du développement de XFree : [http://www.xwin.org(...)](http://www.xwin.org) était né.
 
 
depuis... plus rien ! Pas de fork, simplement un joli site web de discussion.
 
 
Eh bien non, le projet xouvert est arrivé : [http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xouvert(...)](http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xouvert) (enfin pas encore mais bon...)
 
 
En fait ce sera un projet visant à expérimenter tout plein de trucs pour améliorer XFree.
 
 
Une première TODO list est paru sur cette page : [http://xwin.org/article.php?story=20030728143320793#comments(...)](http://xwin.org/article.php?story=20030728143320793#comments)

The 'featureset' will be the same as XFree86 when we launch.
 
Then we will be coding to improve it. Hopefully we can also
 
encourage programmers from the community who want to get
 
involved in XFree/Xouvert development to learn the basics. The
 
idea is to provide a bed for experimental features to be tested in
 
an X server.
 
 
Some of the things I myself have been thinking about:
 
 
-- Option to enable backingstore on *all* windows
 
-- Instead of allocating MAXCLIENTS client structures, we could
 
slim down the server memory footprint a bit by dynamically
 
allocating the structures instead.
 
-- Change the FatalError() messages to be more helpful and
 
friendly.
 
-- Incorporate some of the ideas on xwin involving first-time X
 
configuration, starting Xnest if an X server is already running
 
etc. Whoever came up with those ideas, great thinking (Can't
 
get back to the comments screen while typing :(...)
 
-- Design, experiment with, analyze the need for (if any), an
 
extension for simple double buffering based on backingstore
 
(apps just draw to the window, call something like
 
XDBSwitchBuffers etc, something simpler than the current DBE)
 
 
I'm also interested in using the OpenGL and
 
hardware-accleration systems available in some drivers and
 
devices as an optional rendering target, perhaps as a test bed
 
for implementing extensions for features it offers, like
 
translucency, 3D integration, etc. Hopefully then we can
 
optimize and extend XFree's Mi and FB layers to provide those
 
features in software. Don't tell me software isn't fast enough...
 
Windows does it quite fast and smooth (albeit it's not used
 
widely in Windows).
 
 
I think one of the important things to do in Xouvert is establish
 
a project TODO by gathering all the ideas suggested on
 
xwin.org.
