Re: [xmonad] [Haskell-cafe] Is XMonad still developed or with a current maintainer?

      Sorry, I've posted the reply on Haskell cafè :D

You have catch all my points, good to see what there is someone who agrees
...
with me :)
I don't care who is the maintainer either, because a community-driven repo
on github would be a great deal more effective.
After all, the maintainer is the person that updates and push the package
on Hackage, keep it updated and so on and so forth.
Is the social coding era, I think these are all tasks that could be
performed by the XMonad community :)
As soon as I get info from Adam I'll keep you posted :)

Ah! The choice of an "official" maintainer is secondary, imo. It could
be
any of you, me, or whatever. I think that what is really important is to
have a centralized point of convergence :)
Very good to see some interest in the code base ;-)
Maybe you should also check the IRC channel? #xmonad at freenode.
There's a lot of people in there.
I agree, that it would be good to merge the repositories, and I'd
prefer GitHub for hosting. I don't care who's the maintainer, except
it should be someone who's available and has the time and interest (a
fellow user).
Whether it's our repository or somewhere else, I don't really care, as
long as we can commit to it without too much hassle. Maybe we could
finally get those bugs in core fixed ;-)
Anyway, let me know when you hear something.
