aah excellent. it's a shame that the web page (a good source of information) is
not available. :( very sad to hear :(

the wm codebase itself is dead - but most of the code is outside the wm - it's
in libraries - we've been cleaning and improving the libraries in order to make
a better foundation to build the wm and utilities. thats all it is. the
libraries are looking powerful and solid - and that's very pleasing to know.

we do - i put a patch in only yesterday for e-memwatch. i don't know what he's
talking about.

i have managed top run enlightenment in japanese :) but well - it wasn't useful
to me. i speak a very small amount of japanese and read/write even less. i'm
learning... but it's hard. in theory i see no reason chinese shouldn't work- but
e16's i8n stuff is not that good. i definitely want e17's to be a lot better.
