[edit] Update

Hello, According to distrowatch (http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=debian), Debian has switched to XOrg since Etch (Testing).

[edit] User-friendly

Should this article have a more user-friendly title? --217.159.81.198 22:27, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

For a start, it should be "X.Org" not "XOrg". Something along the lines of "X.Org Foundation X11" or something? Perhaps WP:RM might be worth looking into.

[edit] Requested move

The title of this article is big, cumbersome, and difficult to locate. The title should contain "X.org" or "X.Org", and not "XOrg" or "Xorg". However, finding an appropriate new title is not easy. X.org is too ambiguous. Perhaps X.org X11 or thereabouts? Chris 02:56, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Instead of moving this it should probably be merged with X.Org Foundation as I don't think it warrants a separate article. violet/riga (t) 11:54, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It is a crappy title. I started the article under this name as this was the name on the X.Org site. Dunno if it has an official name other than this. If this is what the software is called, this is what the software is called ... unless they've picked a less cumbersome proper name.
The article should not be merged with X.Org Foundation - that article is about the nonprofit corporation, this article is about some software produced under its auspices - David Gerard 09:30, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is the reference to The Cathedral and the Bazaar really that necessary here? It seems gratuitous to me. --Andyluciano 18 Aug 2005, 14:41 (UTC)

The XFree86/Xorg split is pretty much a classic CatB example - David Gerard 22:31, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What's the name?

On the article two different names are used, X.Org and XOrg. Wich one is the good one? --81.39.163.85 22:31, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
