siaynoq and dwm, sitting in a tree…
Looks like siaynoq is picking up some steam… Last night, Anselm Garbe, author of window managers wmii and dwm sent me an email asking about siaynoq.
Apparently, ARG had something like this in mind; had I waited maybe a couple of months more, I’d probably be working on dwm4windows or something.
ARG mentioned siaynoq had been mentioned in dwm’s mailing list, which was how he found out about it. Really cool, considering missing dwm is one of the reasons why I decided to write siaynoq in the first place.
Anyway, I check out the thread, and I see several people have started to try out compiling siaynoq and are running into problems. Stupid me neglected to point out that you have to have the latest snapshot of the w32api package for MinGW. (I swear, Real Soon Now™, I’ll start putting stuff like this down on paper.)
Also, so there’d actually be a common place to discuss stuff related to siaynoq, I created a mailing list for its users (the two or three people trying to get it working :D).
If you’d like to try compiling siaynoq (no, I’m still not posting any binaries), or request feature additions, or report bugsor just plain talk about it, add yourself to the mailing list. Of course, if you’d actually like to request new features and/or get bugs fixed, I’d prefer if you use the appropriate tracker. I tend to pay more attention to people who can follow basic instructions. :P
