Hi,

No. For years, FVWN has had no *one* maintainer *by design*. Any one with
a commit bit is effectively able to commit back.

Hi,

Is it true that fvwm has no maintainer now? if so, is fvwm still being developed anymore? are there any features planned or is it a dying project?

TIA!

Check the source code repository¹? :-)

FVWM works great for me, so - to me - that means it is a very successful
project.

I don't miss any features currently, so if there are no features planned
that doesn't make it a dying project, in my eyes.

If you want revolutions every other week, other projects are probably
more worth your while.

I think it would be much more accurate to call FVWM "mature".


Best regards,

Adam

An even better word is "useful" (unlike many linux products under
frenetic active development by folks who believe change is always
good no matter how stupid it is :-).
