That's not a window manager feature. I'm actually using gnome-do with
WM, and it works just like with gnome, so if you like, you might
do that, too. However I feel that it still works considerably
worse than Spotlight on OSX. Improving it or writing something
better would be nice, but that's beyond our scope here.

Cheers,

Both makes sense. I've been providing snapshot builds from
Carlos' repo for a couple of months now. These will always be 
kindof experimental as they are simply built from what I pull on
that respective day. Many people here on the list have been
using them.

Feature Idea: Gnome Go like interface for our menus.

[Jason Brower]

It would be totally awesome to have a feature where I can press 
something like the meta key or the run dialog and it take the things I 
type and look for similar items from any of my menu items.  Even the 
dynamic menus like directory structures.  That way it doesn't take a lot 
of indexing on slower computers and I can easily start many of the 
things I am doing without a mouse at all. (I don't like the mouse like 
many Linux Junkies.)

BR,
Jason Brower

Feature: Exposé and the likes...

[Jason Brower]

It would be nice to have a way to review all work spaces (Thought I know 
I have had a lot sometimes.)

Also  a way to see all windows in a workspace.
And finally, a way to see the window in the alt-tab feature..

Hi Martin,

"My unofficial Debian repo"??

Probably is a better idea to have "Our official Debian repo" ;-)

Andreas posted this morning some patches about debian too. What do you 
have? Are debian-specific patches or should be upstream patches?

doubt about asclock

[Rodolfo kix Garcia]

Hi!

in the debian folder there are some files with info about the asclock 
dockapp. I think this info should be removed from these files.


Probably is because asclock was included in the wmaker package, but not now.

Should I remove these lines?

Thanks.

The CMS is a MojoMojo instance, and *you* are invited to create an

I was looking at moving the FAQ documentation over, but that seems to
have fallen off of the old site
(http://archive.windowmaker.org/faq.php?chapter=1 for instance) so if
anyone happens to have that documentation, that would be a lifesaver.

  I'm working on getting that information out of whereever it might be,
  so if no one has it, we may not be entirely lost)

As a reminder - time is short - the new site *is* going live on Aug 19.
That's three days from now. I know that we can pull this off. I, myself,
may not be able to quite as well by myself though.



Right now, I am in the process of copying over data with miminal
editing. I'd like to see as much of the old, worth keeping data,
migrated as soon as possible.

At the end of the month, archive.windowmaker.org will be shut off
permanently.

I am listening to your suggestions, so please keep them coming. Better
yet, help me get the data migrated!

Re: Version 0.94

[Gilbert]

I'm very glad to see that John Robinson has agreed to let wmaker-crm become the 
official version -or at least that Carlos repo gets the front-page on the wmare 
site. And glad to see the site get updated.

However, I have a small concern with the use of 0.94 as the next version. The 
problem is that a year or so ago, I created several new versions of wmaker 
based on the original sources -the first of which was 0.93.0 -followed by 
0.94.0 - 0.97.0. Among my motives were the desire to fulfill the original 
authors' wishes of reaching a stable version 1.0, before going on to port 
wmaker to use a cairo backend. At the time, my main machine was running a 2.4 
kernel, so I found Carlos branch unusable after awhile -once it included 
kernel-2.6 features. I also found the pace of changes rather fast for my tastes 
and especially disliked the removal of old features which were working or 
nearly working and there seemed to be no interest in maintaining compatibility 
with BSD and others

Anyway, I decided to update the old sources using fixes and feature additions 
which had been around for ages, but never incorporated in the official sources. 
I went through many versions because I wanted to limit the number of changes 
per version to 20-30 patches. This allowed for step-by-step upgrading and 
testing of the code in a less invasive manner. At the time, John was still 
working out issuse with the web domain and participants on all sides were 
unable to come up with a decision on which version control system to use. Since 
Carlos was inflexible about using git, I thought it would be good to create the 
updated versions and offer them to John as potential official versions. I also 
bumped the versions early so that 1.0 could be reached early -before more new 
(and not widely tested) features started to creep in.

I never expected to generate as much interest in my repo or versions as Carlos 
was getting -he had the inertia with him already. STill, I wrote John a couple 
of times and offered my sources -even attached them to emails. However, I never 
got a single word back from him. Found it rather strange when he announced here 
that he wanted to hand over maintainership of wmaker and after getting several 
commnets back, he said he wanted to wait till he heard from me(??).

Now, let me be clear. I am not complaining about John Robisnson or Carlos Mafra 
-they both have done the best they could the whole time -just as I did. Still, 
I would appreciate it if the wmaker-crm branch jumped to an official release of 
wmaker-1.1. This would still leave room for meeting the wishes of Alfredo that 
an official 1.0 be released -based on the original code pretty much intact and 
with very few additions -no major back-end changes. Based on the last version I 
produced, I even incorporated some of the changes from Carlos' branch which I 
like or were workable with the old code.

Of course, there will be no hard feeling if my request is rejeted out-of-hand. 
But I think it is reasonable and fits into the natural progression of the 
project. wmaker-crm would simply occupy the place of the work which Alfredo & 
Co. had already begun -of doing a major re-write of wmaker from the bottom up. 
It's only about numbers anyway, but could avoid some confusion when anyone 
comes across a tarball of my versions 93, 94, 95, 96 or 97

Thanks very much for your consideration,
Gilbert Ashley

The idea is that anything which can be useful to everybody should be
"upstream".

> But, what to do with the debian folders? 

I am not the debian maintainer ;)

In fact, I don't see why wmaker-crm is carrying debian specific patches.
If the patch is not of upstream value, I don't think I am going to take
it anymore.

I.e. let's keep the upstream sources (if wmaker-crm can be called like that)
distro agnostic.

Thanks, but these manpages should be inside the main doc/ folder

Ok,

we can move all the manpages in debian/manpages to doc, but the 
wmaker.1x is different. The manpage in the debian folder (is "newest" 
(1999) than the doc folder (1998 ) :-P) There are two main differences:


1. Debian Paths are different. /etc/GNUStep/Defaults | 
/usr/share/WindowMaker/Defaults and the Icons folders

2. Options, the debian file has more options

IMO we should move the files to the doc folder. (You? Me?, perhaps you 
;-P).


But, what to do with the debian folders? in the debian/rules I have 
some changes to put the files in the correct place (it is boring). On 
the other/same? hand we have problems with the /usr/lib folder, because 
the images (.tiff, .xpm,...) and other architecture independent files 
should be in /usr/share.

Yeah! :-)

For that matter, what is actually needed for a stable release to
materialize out of the git repo?

Debian packages

[Rodolfo kix Garcia]

Hi,

I try to update the debian folder. I have many many many patches :-( I 
will try to sort them and then sent to this list.


I have some questions too, the most important:

1. There is a package in debian called wmaker-data, with icons. Should 
we move these icons to the upstream version? Is the package maintainer 
subscribed to this mailing list?


2. Many files are architecture independent, like images. We get a 
lintian error about many files in /usr/ and probably the best is move 
them to an architecture independent "wmaker-" package. The package 
wmaker-data cannot be used to this purpose (perhaps wmaker-shared??)


3. John, would you like to continue as maintainer? anyone?

4. I included a patch for a Russian wmaker manpage with an error (lintian)

Regards.

The only thing left to do now is to port the information from the old

good

amount can be moved over before it goes live on Friday the 19th.

Additionally, if there is anyone of true creativity that would like

improve the theming, I will do what I need to to make that possible.

If anyone has any problems with the new site, please let me know and
