Where can I look for more info? There's some Web-based magazine that has more details, but I've lost the URL to it. More details are/were probably being disclosed at the X Conference, whenever than is/was. Basically, the X Consortium is concentrating more on multimedia and WWW application support, like handling the minutiae necessary to securely run an X client from another machine, which will come under the label "Broadway". There's a tiny bit more on this at http://www.x.org/consortium/broadway.html and it looks as though there'll be a lot more at the X conference (last 4 talks on Tuesday) I kinda doubt they'll stop developing X, but the afore-mentioned magazine article article made it sound as though they were renaming it...
