Fellow wmii users, I'm pleased to announce the next evolution of my YAML-based Ruby wmiirc:
http://github.com/sunaku/wmiirc The big idea, suggested by Nathan Neff, is that the config.yaml file should be able to import other YAML files ("partials" as I call them). This allows us to share and maintain common code while having a different mix of status applets, keyboard shortcuts, color schemes, and so on. I also refactored the Ruby side of this wmiirc into namespaced modules, and moved the logic for keyboard shortcuts into the "control:action" section. This allows the same logic to be shared between different shortcuts (e.g. Qwerty vs Dvorak) and also between mouse actions (clicking on status bar applets). And finally, I reorganized the Git repository so that the user creates their own config.yaml based off the provided example.yaml file. This way they can check it into their own Git repo/branch without having conflicts with my stuff later on. Furthermore, I can continue updating everything else and the user can pull those changes without getting into merge conflicts and vice versa. I hope these changes make it easier for us to share and improve this wmiirc without stepping on each other's toes. :-) Please read the installation section of the README, as we are not using the 4-branch setup anymore. Cheers.
