"http://www.fvwm.org"; should contain a link "target group" to a page with such kind of definition. Nobody needs 50 different window managers that all have exactly the same features, appearance, attitude and drawbacks. We live in a time where people have different demands, different likings and where people need different pieces of software to satisfy their needs. If the FVWM homepage would make more clear which kind of wants *THIS* window manager supplies, discussion threads like this could be avoided, perhaps. If someone wants to increase the number of users who use FVWM, then I think this plain clarification on a prominent site, describing the target group, is the only approach to reach that goal. > Since no one else has EVER called for the kinds of changes you've > proposed I don't think you are in a position to decide what our users > want. People should admit that they are part of the defined target group or even understand the needs of the target group before they become deciders. This should be the norm in any project.
