Possibly, but it might be worth considering choosing another benevolent dictator and letting them have the final say on design matters on the fork. If only to avoid design by comittee. -- I appear to be temporarily using gmail's horrible interface.

Re: [SEMI-OT] Applications in a typical ion3 desktop environment
2009/1/11 Klaus Umbach : > Just out of curiosity, I'm interessted in what you are using on your > desktop/notebook. I just want to have new ideas. On the desktop I use varying things. TI-86, analog scope, loupe, soldering station, random breadboards and stuff. Lots of pens and paper. It might benefit from some automation but I can't find a computer and interface of suitable size and connectivity. Since I can't find Rotring XONOX any more, only the sloppy fat Tikky, I have a Pigma Micron 005 (0.20mm line is maybe even too thin). It doesn't have a straight clip, though so it tore the back of the Moleskine in record time. I need a tougher notebook. You may freely consider this a snipe at crap analogies used in computing. Throw them away and things start to work better. Ion is a good step forward in that. -- I appear to be temporarily using gmail's horrible interface.

Holding is also massively annoying if the interface is lagged. Rio (plan9) does it. Isn't that reason enough to do the opposite? :) -- I appear to be temporarily using gmail's horrible interface.

I managed this fine a couple of years ago on my University Solaris account. It was just a case of the standard ./configure and make, IIRC. I have done likewise. Apart from solaris compiler fighting, the home directory install went perfectly the normal and expected way. I also installed lua there first. After a bit of rtfm, now when I log into a ray (using "CDE" as the desktop selection), ion comes up. Joy. -- I appear to be temporarily using gmail's horrible interface.

Learning the necessary to use darcs to submit patches is a matter of minutes indeed. You need "darcs get" to get a copy, "darcs record -a" to commit your changes, and "darcs send" to send it to Tuomo. Presuming you're on a platform and have privileges for running darcs. (Compiling darcs, not to mention ghc, without ghc is not an easy feat either.) But yes, learning enough should be pretty simple. Perhaps the documentation should have a "darcs for dummies" (well, accepted practices) paragraph :) -- I appear to be temporarily using gmail's horrible interface.

Ion3 is still is by far the most comfortable place for me to be in, window system wise. Even the people are nice and helpful.. and full of personality. I think ion3 is quite "old" and would be fine moved to a stable state. It isn't the end of it but a step forward. I also fear the project being eventually left to rot, of course.
