[Bitwm-kdev] After a deep sleep...

[Alexander <god...@bk...>]

Hi guys :)

I want to say a few words about BitWM's state in our days...
First and almost important is that the project is not DEAD at all, so 
dont even hope! :)
And now about what i am doing and what are my plans...

1) I was using Emacs for few last weeks and learned many stuff about 
Lisp which is really cool (Thanks to Lg, JackaLX, tintin and many others 
from #emacs, #xwem etc at freenode irc.) And i decided, Why shouldnt i 
use a dialect of LISP as the main language of BitWM? So i called it 
Blisp and currently working on it. Why didnt i prefer things like ecl 
and librep... because it is so fucking big and it is way not 
lightweight... and that is not what we need in BitWM which is a kind of 
minimalistic WM.
The Blisp thing is now in hard development and it can parse lists into 
Atoms and Lists... it is ready to write Variable handlers and Function 
handlers... when it will be done - we'll have Lisp integrated into BitWM 
and we probably will use it as one of the ways to make Modules and 
ofcourse Configs.

2) I fixed some major bugs in BitWM it self, like the one which was 
segfaulting BitWM while killing clients or leaving parts of decorations 
on the screen while the client was dead. Thanks to Lg again for helping 
me a bit :)

3) I fixed many many memory leaks in BitWM... thanks to ValGrind which 
is a super nice tool for debuging memory allocations etc.

What is pending?
I think the main thing is now Blisp and to make BitWM work stable... 
that is what i want before i'll release 0.1 stable :)

So hey, guys, i understand you all dont have time to help me, but if you 
will some days in the summer, please write a letter here... i really 
have great plans about bitwm but i have even less time for it now... i 
have much work and i'm getting my driver licence now :-(
Thanks a lot for support any way.
