Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "alttab": * Package name : alttab Version : 1.0.3-1 Upstream Author : Alexander Kulak <sa-...@rainbow.by> * URL : https://sagb.github.io/alttab * License : GPLv3 Section : x11 It builds those binary packages: alttab - task switcher for minimalistic WMs or standalone X session To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL: https://mentors.debian.net/package/alttab Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/alttab/alttab_1.0.3-1.dsc # Advocacy alttab is just a window switcher for X. Its features: [1] works not only in specific WM [2] has visual interface [3] convenient tactile behaviour: press modifier (Alt) - multiple switch with key (Tab) - release modifier [4] focuses on clarity and simplicity: lightweight, depend only on common X11 libs [5] customizable look and behaviour [6] seamless work with WM grouping/desktops, because of maintaining stack of every window, not only exposed ones Switchers in common big desktop environments lack [1] and [4]. In minimalistic WM, internal switch lacks [1] and usually [2], [3], [5], while dmenu-like switchers lack [3]. alttab fits naturally in this niche. Comparable standalone application (i'm aware of skippy-xd) is mature and has more features, but lacks [3] and [4]. # Maintenance notes I may adopt sponsor's packaging choice instead of gbp/cowbuilder/dh. I'm hanging around on freenode and oftc (nick sa), would be grateful for any hint, testing or co-authoring. Regards, Alexander Kulak
