Xouvert is an open project and just like almost any other project 
there'll probably be a few people using non-Linux operating systems that 
will fix or atleast inform the Xouvert developers of any platform 
incompatibilities.

The wiki frontpage, right now, contains some of the myths spread around 
by some people. That very same page says removing network transparency 
is not an option; it wouldn't be an X server anymore.

While we're on topic of the wiki, I suggest we create several pages: 
atleast a frontpage with a small description and links to the other 
pages, a page for the myths currently on the frontpage and an idea bag 
or wishlist page.
