Not so much. Given that the web-page has a placeholder, but nothing there, I would surmise that the "authoratative" answer is "suggest something". Maybe I'm just ignorant, and can thus be enlightened by almost anyone; maybe the problem is that everyone is running around with their own version of what 'ought' to be, all conflicting. > > How do you all keep track of 90 workspaces?

A fine answer, but to a question somewhat different than I had asked. :) [snip] > Window Maker is already very stable and I understand that > its characteristic time frame is longer because of that. > But that period of silence should happen _after_ known > bug fixes are applied, not before. According to the change log[1], the last bunch of fixes was applied nine months ago. Stuff that was fixed only four months ago couldn't have been applied then, at least, not without closed timelike paths. :) Obviously, John needs a couple of "integration lieutenants" to apply patches to the baseline, or at least get them into a "testing" branch. And what *is* a reasonable 'patch latency', for either an acceptance or a rejection? Two weeks? Six months? Thirty-seven hours, fourteen minutes, and fifty-two point three seconds?
