grid plugin is gone

[jc00ke]

Binary package hint: compiz

I've looked all over the webs and could not find a resource on why the Grid plugin is absent from compiz-plugins. I also went to the Grid plugin dev page (http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Grid) with no luck, and the developer's blog is seriously dated (http://suasol.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/grid-now-part-of-official-compiz-distribution/)

I looked in the mailing list and spent a bit of time on Launchpad, but couldn't find anything. Is there a reason it's gone, or is it hidden? What's the deal?

You need to install the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package as we no longer install it by default.

Thanks, I couldn't find anything anywhere on this. Let's close this badboy, and thanks for your response!
