IWM doesn't
seem that far from working,
Well I'm perhaps wrong but that wasn't the case the last time I
checked it
(but as it was 2 months ago, ...)
although I would be far happier making that
statement if it were better documented so new coders had an easier
time
helping it. As long as talented programmers aren't hacking IWM, it's
never
going to become ready for daily use and WMaker remains the offical WM
despite not being really GNUstep beside looks. Therefore, talented
programmers suggest hacking WMaker rather than IWM and round it all
goes.
:-(
I agree -- partly... :)
A full-gnustep WM (as IWM) would be great. But it's also not so easy
to have a
WM as stable as WMaker. What I said is just to make some hacks to
wmaker, to
have a better support *quickly* (ie, I don't want to wait >6 months...
:-/),
because I did some tests and it's quite easy to add GNUstep things
(notifications...) to wmaker. So I think it's the fastest way to have
something -- but surely not the "good" way. IWM has the potential to
be better
(for example, it'll be based on bundles, etc.)
I hope people will continue to code IWM, so in the mid-range we'll
have a
good, ObjC WM for X11. Until this, we could use this old wmaker (well
it's
already the case..)
In the end, nobody is forced to works on wmaker or iwm... I'd like to
try
something for wmaker (and I'm not even sure that I'll have the time),
but *I*
have no major interesst on coding iwm.
