Hello all,
I toy with this idea at least three times a year, which must mean something.
:) I know I've asked this in the past of most people, but I will ask it
again -- not so much in terms of the particulars -- but if there's enough
interest.
Would a book on FVWM be useful?
Surely it will be, I think. :D
I am thinking more in terms of discussing how/what to do with FVWM, and
what's needed to achieve it.The standards behind how FVWM manages windows,
and how FVWM allows the user to control what this means, etc.
In my opinion, this book can discus these things, and maybe the idea
behind these standards ( or designs? ) and what exactly we can do with
these standards ( use some examples from those great themes for FVWM ).
I think it will be useful for newbies as well as advanced users.
In the past I have called for a co-contributor, but this has fallen though,
so I figure if it's ever to get off the ground, I'll probably have to go it
alone, alas.
What do people think? Whilst I realise the idea is a little odd, seeing as
a window manager changes a lot, but there's a tonne of stuff that could so
easily be written to make it somewhat timeless over different revisions of
FVWM.
Maybe something (like the options, commands and functions ) will change
a lot. but something ( the standards or designs ) will not change so
often. On this level, it can be not only a book for FVWM users, but also
for FVWM itself. Others may get something interesting from this book,
too, if they've read this book.
Kindly,
-- Thomas Adam
