Rubbish. Nothing has kept devs from tagging releases in the past except the fact that they simply didn't do it. Every Eterm release for quite some time has been tagged. As a non-developer, you don't know what we can/can't do or why things have/have not been done a certain way, so don't act like you do. > It could sounds a bit hard but since the project has became (to our > satisfaction) larger, there are more devs, and consequently there > are more code clashes ;).

If you mean "conflicts," I question how you would know that since you do not commit code and could not have experienced another developer's code conflicting with code you were going to commit. > We went looking into tck/tk, perl/tk, xmessage, .... and a lot of > "dialog" tools programmable from the command line, on Linux, > Solaris, HP-UX, ...

So far you're the only one who's expressed interest in such a thing, so the onus is really on you to follow through with it. > Looking at major end user interface, one can see that Compiz-Fusion, > in the Linux world, is becoming the favored desktop for a lot of > people, and, in the Windows world, you should agree that Windows > Vista has became nice to look at ;)....
