How it started ...
Originally this site was created to highlight David's donations to XFree86 apart from his release manager work. Over time as the big multis moved into Open Source, more and more hardware became closed, which literally made work on XFree86 slowly come to a standstill. Companies no longer allowed hackers to improve their hardware; instead everything is now driven through API's with rigorous guideliness and little published documentation.
As everything moved to closed source with just the framework open, things returned to status quo, XFree86 remained a lone holdout. XFree86 still takes code donations, reviews bug reports, but honestly it seems to be so good that little appear.
Now, X-Oz does little on the XFree86 platform other than ensuring that XFree86 remains free, is a rock solid windowing platform & works.
