<p>No, we are not dead :) Behind the scenes we are hunting those ugly, nasty<br />little hobits &#8230;.. aeh &#8230; <span class="caps">BUGS</span> and add some new features, eg there might<br />be <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/access/type-ahead/">Type-Ahead</a> for the menu<br />pretty soon. Another idea already tested by some brave folks from<br />\#fluxbox is the <a href="http://darkshed.net/paste/shot-2005-03-17-144707-1024-768.jpg">CommandTool</a>,<br />kind of fluxbox-commandline for the toolbar. Simon is currently busy with bringing fluxbox&#8217;s hunger <br />for memory down, still some issues to solve but it looks very promising so far.<br />Our little <a href="http://core.fluxbox.org/~fbot/">fbot</a> has a new home: core.fluxbox.org, <br />big thanx to 'car&#8217; who 'gave&#8217; us that box. I made some <a href="http://darkshed.net/news/29/fluxbox-buttons--">WebButtons</a> <br />you can freeely use to show the world that you are a fluxboxer :) <br />And maybe there are some more things coming up, running secretly behind the scenes &#8230; stay tuned!</p>... read more

<p><p>Hello folks, </p><br /><p> as many of you know (or not): The current manpage of fluxbox is a bit<br />behind whats currently inside fluxbox and thus, it needs a<br />facelifting, refreshing and shiny new colors. Curt Micol, widely known<br />as Asenchi, has started a tiny subproject, called &#8220;newfluxman&#8221;:<br /><br /><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://www.asenchi.com/misc/newfluxman.txt">http://www.asenchi.com/misc/newfluxman.txt</a><br /><br /><br /><br />Thats actually what he has written so far. We (the fluxboxteam) would<br />like to encourage anyone of you, who is interested in contributing to<br />that new manpage, to write ideas, thoughts, sections and whatnot to<br /><br /><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;asenchi [ta] asenchi [tod] com&gt;<br /><br /><br /></p><br />Cheers and happy fluxboxing!</p> link

<p>Thanks to Andrea Franchi, is finished. <a href="http://fluxbox.org/news/docbook/it/html/index.html">html online</a></p> link

<p>The move is done, &#8220;maybe&#8221; some minor reordering will be done.

<p>Hi Folks,</p>

<p>At the moment we are moving the our cvs-repository from sourceforge.net to<br />a subversion based repository at <a href="http://fluxbox.org/news/&\#8220;http://developer.berlios.de/projects/fluxbox/&\#8221;">berlios.de</a>.  We are doing this for<br />serveral reasons:</p>

<ul>
<li>subversion is a pretty nice cvs-replacement with several
advantages</li>
<li>recurring problems with the cvs-repository hosted on sf.net
<ul>
<li>speed</li>
<li>anonymous cvs is hours behind developer cvs</li>
<li>reliability</li>
</ul>

What I&#8217;d like to<br />know, is how to use icons in the menu.
