sounds good, but don't forget, that usually it helps people to get their ideals straight by formulating them - lets say manifest not guidelines. what the community defines as suckless is not completely reflected in what you name content. i think that there are to few suckless projects for that. <...> > > Unmaintained projects will be removed after a grace period of one > > year. > > Rules, rules, rules ... <...> > I suggest to drop the idea of having such a set of rules.
