It would be a shame if it were no longer available. Personally, as a user of fvwm2, it has been, and is, a valuable resource - especially as some of the man pages are lacking in some ways. Does this mean, also, development of the fvwm2 Window Manager is going to slow down or worse? and what about the irc channels? will it/they still operate and are they used much? I've not yet used the irc channel, I tend to -- cautiously -- use this mailing list for information and to ask questions. -- James Griffin: jmz at kontrol.kode5.net [A4B9 E875 A18C 6E11 F46D B788 BEE6 1251 1D31 DC38]
