 Yes, a book would be useful. But I'd question why you're doing it. If
 you're hoping to make money, then I'd say clearly the market for FVWM
 isn't big enough, and it's not going to happen (having published a
 book myself, I know a bit about this). If you're wanting to write it
 simply to increase the level of knowledge about FVWM, then I think
 it's a great idea. But at that point, I don't know if it would even be
 worth publishing it in paper format, as opposed to, say, just a PDF.

Not to make money, no.

And publishers like No Starch Press publish books on lego, for instance.  So
I'd hardly say market-share is really a limiting factor.  :)

Hello Thomas Adam,

 Hello all,
 
 I toy with this idea at least three times a year, which must mean something.
 :)  I know I've asked this in the past of most people, but I will ask it
 again -- not so much in terms of the particulars -- but if there's enough
 interest.  
 
 Would a book on FVWM be useful?

Maybe.  I had started writing a Book about FVWM 6-7 years  ago  and  had
stoped because I was a lot overworked...  It was a part of a  series  of
books about Debian GNU/Linux  from  the  installation  too  the  WHOLE
configuration...

BUT, -- nothing about KDE and GNOME!

Pure X-Windows System with WDM and FVWM!

 I am thinking more in terms of discussing how/what to do with FVWM, and
 what's needed to achieve it.  The standards behind how FVWM manages windows,
 and how FVWM allows the user to control what this means, etc.

ACK

 In the past I have called for a co-contributor, but this has fallen though,
 so I figure if it's ever to get off the ground, I'll probably have to go it
 alone, alas.

Hmmm  Shit!  Currently I am stressed again!  :-/

 What do people think?  Whilst I realise the idea is a little odd, seeing as
 a window manager changes a lot, but there's a tonne of stuff that could so
 easily be written to make it somewhat timeless over different revisions of
 FVWM.

Yeah, when I started with my FVWM Book it was easy, but now in the  last
6 years FVWM has changed a lot...

 Kindly,
 -- Thomas Adam

Ich habe echt Lust, da mitzumachen...

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening

Why not?  Als lille pocket money is OK... ;-)

I have already published two book using

http://www.bod.de/ Books on Demand

This are Laser-Prints.  OK, you have to pre-pay the Setup, but  you  can
get an ISBN number and they help you to publish it...
