It was a lucky accident for me as well, though I was less concerned about it being alive as that it wasn't part of gnome anymore. I used it years ago before sawfish went gnome -- back when gnome was using enlightenment. When the gnome philosophy seemed to be taking it over I switched to something else. I was never entirely happy with anything, and one day I went to look up sawfish again. I discovered that gnome and sawfish had parted ways, and was happy. :) > 4) What do you think about the infrastructure? > > I believe that it's too cluttered but Teika doesn't let me drop gnome.org > (Now I know why Janek asked me "if I want to take the burden to maintain > Sawfish" :P) Part of me would be happy to see sawfish stop using gnome.org, but honestly only because I'd be happy to see sawfish and gnome move farther apart, not for any technical or practical reason. So I've intentionally not spoken up when the issue has been discussed in the past. I've never fully understood the organization of the wiki -- I prefer info pages and the mailing list for most things. But it's true that things like the scripts need someplace to reside, and the wiki is good for things like tips-n-tricks, and howto-like stuff. > 5) Are you planning to contribute? Yeah, but I'm probably not a very reliable contributor. I'm not much of a programmer (just lisp), and I often have a lot of other stuff going on in my life. -- Jeremy Hankins <[email protected]>
