| One important aspect of project life cycles is the ability
| how projects keep in step with general technical development.
|
| It may be the case that five or ten years from now a lot of computers
| will be equipped with touch screens.
|
| It could be a good idea to think about how FVWM would cope
| with touch screens in the future. Decisions should be made:
| Is FVWM supposed to support touch screens sometime or not?
| If touch screen support is a good idea, how are the steps to
| achieve that goal?
My personal opinion is that we don't currently know what the right
window manager interface is for decent-sized touchscreen displays
(displays that are not going to be single application/window at a
time). Thus I feel that doing anything for touchscreens in FVWM right
now is highly premature; any work on touchscreen window managers is
likely to be highly experimental for years to come.
I also feel strongly that touchscreens are unlikely to be a general
interface for desktop or laptop computers any time in the future.
This has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with the
ergonomics of routinely reaching out and holding your arm up to touch
things and move your hands around.
