I'm not quite sure which would be a better idea. I don't really have
much on the OpenXCI SourceForge project (just the Mercurial repository
for the graphics and input servers, as well as a tarball with the
corresponding qemu patches), so it might be easier to move it to
xen.org now rather than later. I do have a pretty good idea of what I
want OpenXCI to be - a configurable, high-performance multi-boot
alternative with good support for graphics passthrough, using a
similar architecture to XenClient (but using direct GPU passthrough
for one domain and either a "reverse graphics adapter" or a VNC
connection to display other domains, possibly with some kind of
support for 3D on non-passthrough domains using virtual GPUs being
added later).
