Hi there, I'm not sure what is so difficult to understand about this move to d...@.
Previously, dwm@ was used for plenty valuable off-topic discussions as well, besides dwm's own discussion, and the move to dev@ is logical, since there are more software projects from suckless.org (and more to come). There is no point in having 3, 5, or more lists on a per project basis and then another general list for off-topic discussions. That sucks, because then one has to look up different lists for different things all the time. The mail subject has been invented to summarise what a discussion is about, if it's not your cup of tea, then ignore or delete the discussion of such a subject. I see the users of dwm, wmii, dmenu, st, etc as part of a bigger community which should be fine with a general list to discuss all the issues -- since project related mails, esp. wmii related mails, were low traffic in the past months. So I don't see any problem in receiving some mails regarding software you might not use at all. I don't use vimperator for instance, so I don't care if I receive discussions about it. The same should be true for wmii. More the contrary, it is sometimes good to receive mails about software you haven't been aware of so far, because otherwise you might still use XFCE (as an example)... Kind regards, Anselm PS: I really hope we can end this discussion now, it's really pointless and the dev@ list sucks less then 5 different lists. 2009/5/25 Dusan <ef_...@yahoo.com>: > On Mon, 25 May 2009 15:03:30 +0200 > Uriel <lost.gob...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Subject: dwm title bars similar to wmii title bars > > Body: I like how wmii draws window title bars and I was wondering if > there is dwm patch available to do the same. > > Just an example. > > We had perfect two lists and we had to break them so now we must code > additional logic to get customized results.
