Paper cuts are so irritating. (Adrian Ghenie, 'Pie Fight Study 2')
One Hundred Paper Cuts for Lucid is going well. 56 paper cuts have been fixed so far. We have to fix at least 20 more paper cuts to match the number of paper cuts fixed in Karmic, a record you can help us surpass by working on closing the 26 paper cuts with bugs attached.
This week’s paper jam for Compiz settings went well, thanks to the industrious work of Sebastian Bacher during the distro sprint in Portland. The F-Spot paper jam still has some unclaimed beauties, however.
Please get involved right away if there are any paper cuts that catch your eye. You could get your patch shipped in Lucid (and upstream too, haters!).

Wondering: is this a Francis Bacon painting?
Lucas, I’m not sure. I tried to find the original source but couldn’t. I will try Google Goggles on it when my new Nexus One finishes its initial charge

I wonder what it says about my psyche that I thought it was a man clawing his own face off, when it’s intended to be a boy with a pie in the face…
I can’t wait to see the results of the Compiz papercuts. Just the other day I installed a fresh install of Ubuntu only to remember just how much manual tweaking each compiz effect needed not to suck. I spent ages changing transition speeds and key bindings, and then when I had it all working great I switched back to my Mac and got a shock at how much smoother and better expose and the other effects were on OS X. TBH it left me a bit down about Ubuntu, because even after all of these years it still requires too much tweaking and still falls short.
Like I say, I can’t wait to see these papercuts as I hope they will fix all this, but to be honest, I’m secretly of the opinion that Gnome 3 not working with Compiz is probably a good thing. I reckon Gnome 3 a few years from now will have much more slick (and intuitive) effects than Compiz will ever get.
