Using multiple branches for separate strands of content isn't terribly ideal. So I think practically it needs to be either in the same repo, or in a different repo, but just to avoid weird hard to manage solutions. So here are some ideas: 1) we put the default contrib directory in the default path, so that people can optionally load modules as they see fit. It won't break things, and I suppose we just need to make sure that user specified paths take precedence. 2) We have some sort of wiki or stumpwm-forge and don't distribute any modules with the core WM. This is a la emacs-wiki, and I suspect that most of the people who are likely to be comfortable with stump are likely to be comfortable with emacswiki so that shouldn't be to bad. 3) We just integrate and accept patches and modules wildly with only cursory review. The reason to be more careful about commit access and including new code is to avoid regressions, malicious content, and what not. But it seems that these are infrastrcture/logistical problems: testing, CI, conversations. I'm not much of a lisper, but the logistics stuff I can help with. If that's what people (and the current maintainers) want. > Also I support nice wiki pages for document/addon.As of now StumpWM > lakes nice newbie documentation. Oh documentation. I'm a technical writer by trade and would be willing to help out with documentation and have thought about what various tutorials would look like, but it's been (so far) pretty far down on my list. Hrm. Is there anyone else on the list who has some time they want to put towards documentation? I'm game, but I don't think I have the time to do this alone.
