Intention
Oyranos, the greek word for sky, is the name of a new Colour Management System component. Oyranos comes along with the CMS proposal published at the Behrmann site.
Using Elektra as a backend ensures ease of use and transparency for scripters, programmers, and users. The configuration is based on the library Elektra — http://www.libelektra.org .
The goal of the Oyranos project is to make colour consistency as easy as possible. Oyranos serves as a framework for profile handling and configuring, allowing user selectable policies.
It will take several assumptions into account to let applications easily communicate with each other. These include path configuration, default profile naming, administration including lightweight rights handling and option handling. The Oyranos API will remain extensible and independent from backends like Elektra or ColorSync.
Oyranos is not intended to work as CMM doing direct colour transformations, but in the future it may become a framework for CMMs.

Adding EDID atoms in the root window for additional Xinerama screens: [5] (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3910) Setting EDID for Xinerama detected monitors can be done in Oyranos with the proprietary nVidia driver only with Xext calls. It would be much better to have the EDID atoms set by standard.
