I've been running Beryl/Compiz for some time now and now I'm ready to start developing my own plugin. I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on where would be a good place to start looking at how to start developing a plugin?

Docs, examples, current code, etc?

Thanks

Code is here:

http://gitweb.opencompositing.org/

Use "yags" to fetch the code from the git.

There are some example plugins here http://forum.compiz.org/viewforum.php?f=5 and http://forum.compiz.org/viewforum.php?f=6

You can visit IRC #opencompositing-dev and ask for help there if you get stuck.

Best thing to do is study how current plugins work, unfortunately there is not much documentation around except for the comments in example plugins.
