What would you say is the general direction of WindowMaker in terms of
this forked development.
If you like, I would love to see a list of things that are improved over
the existing version in two sections:
Fixes:
Features:
Feature:
* windowmaker-0.94.0
What do you think about doing this as the first step and rename
wmaker-crm to windowmaker-0.94.0? Carlos?
The way I see it this will allow distributions to put this version in
the development phase, get some users to quickly test it and make it
the official in a month or two.
If anything breaks, it is easier for package managers to downgrade to
whatever they have working on their distributions.
I don't like the idea of having to deal with different packages names
in a Linux distribution: windowmaker, wmaker-crm, etc. This makes an
unexperienced user gets dizzy easily.
Another thing I disagree with is the idea of adding dockapps to the
windowmaker package. Distros could use a meta-package windowmaker-base
or something that includes windowmaker, some dockapps, some themes,
some distro-specific configs, etc.
PS: sorry Jason for replying to you.
Don't worry, makes me feel important. :รพ
As for the recommendation, I kind of agree, but it's a steep learning
curve to get going with windowmaker. Perhaps we could make some docs on
the wiki talking about the many cool tricks in windowmaker. (Like
customising the menu)
