Uh, I didn't want to suggest that you have to do all the things I listed yourself. Would you like to add your module to the fvwm source tree? Of course you would have full access to the sources. You might want to consider: + Reduces future maintenance work. + We would automatically add some nifty features like colorset support, i18n support etc. + More people can help you implementing some nifty stuff. + It would be maintained in the future, even if you ever lose interest in continuing the work. + It will automatically be adapted to all module interface changes. + Your module would be distributed with each and every copy of fvwm. - It would only be added to the 2.5.x development branch. - You would have to respect code and feature freezes when fvwm is getting close to the next stable release. - We would appreciate if the module was formatted with the new indentation style used in the core, but this is not a must. (indentation with tabs = 8 spaces). - It must use the Gnu Public License. It's your decision, but I hope you can tolerate the drawbacks for the benefits.
