I have not seen anything in the xtensions mailing list for a while and
in particular was wondering what the current status of the double
buffering and input extension proposals are.  

We are planning on supporting some form of each of these extensions. 

We are willing to:

produce proposals, and/or 
implement the C X-lib interface and device independent portion of the 
server extension)

If necessary we will develop our own extensions (and make them available
to anyone interested) but we would rather work with others who are
seriously interested in these areas.  

Currently I have seen proposals from DEC, Sun (Dave Rosenthal) and 
Stellar and comments/counter proposal from Bob Scheifler.  How do each
of these stand with regard to each other? Is any one of these more
favoured than the others?  Is every company really going to offer its
own private extensions for these obviously needed functions?

Please mail any information either to me directly, this mail group or
to xtensions.
