Nice spot, Magnus. We at xmonad.org aim to please :) People might be also interested in a bit of an experience report on developing xmonad (and running an open source Haskell project) I gave at Galois a couple of weeks ago:
http://galois.com/~dons/talks/xmonad-galois-0907.pdf Finally, while we're here, an xmonad talk and demo will be happening at the Haskell Workshop next week in Freiburg, and there's bound to be some xmonad hacking/install fest during the Hackathon too: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hac_2007_II The talk outline: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/papers/haskell51d-stewart.pdf -- Don magnus: > Seems xmonad is feeling the love.
