Take a look at : http://abridgegame.org/darcs/ While arch is quite complicate, you can have simpler frontend with http://bazaar-ng.org/ (in python by ubuntu folks). Darc while it is very good, was written in haskell, I was worrying if there will be enough maintainers for the project in future. Also note that I think Tom Lord is working on a simpler front end and also arch2(?) which will have backward compatibility. Though, I am fine with darcs since I personally like it. > Note for Banlu : there are Subversion tools like svn-mirror or svn-push > to work in a distributed way (you commit your changes on your local > repository which will be synchronized later with the main one). cool.

TestWM is a simple wm which makes use of wmcore. It's a simple app, did nothing just loading wmcore bundle. StepWiRE is my friend's experiment on another WM to use wmcore. XWiRE is a place holder for plugins for doing hints for specific environments (but I guess we could just put every wm-spec related stuffs in wmcore) and addition reusable module like dock and pager. > --> DiagramKit may be we should mirror it from gsimageapps project ? > (Garma) : diagramming framework > DiagramKit is now officially hosted by gsimageapps : > https://gna.org/projects/gsimageapps No comment.

It will looks like you can have your favorite CDs on your desktop. - Make an applications system to allow many virtual devices that you can virtually wire them together. Some of devices will be a frontend for musickit synthesizers so you can have realtime filtering over Shhh's audio output. > May be we should add a category /Services/User/Games with few games > because Banlu has written/ported very good ones ;-) > > --> LapisPuzzle : http://home.gna.org/garma/lapispuzzle/index.html > --> NeXTGo : http://maliwan.sourceforge.net/nextgo.jpg My games are in gap project. May be you can mirror them too. Bheron? I'm working on Ladder.app (征子, shicho) http://senseis.xmp.net/?Ladder which will be available in gap and will have more features than nextgo. -- _----_ Banlu Kemiyatorn / /\ \ Free Software Yogi | / \ | -_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_-~-_ | /----\ | QSTORAD, Qing Shan Tian Xia \/ \/ 136 Nivesana 7, Jangwattana 14 QingShan Laksi, Bangkok, Thailand 10210
