Special thanks to David Roundy and Andrea Rossato for initiating this branch and doing the lion's share of porting to the new system.
Well, I must say that seeing my name close to David's for contributing to a software project in Haskell is something that strikes me as quite impressive. Tuomo introduced me to darcs, but it was darcs that subverted my way of dealing with code, in any sense. And Haskell was the consequence. A tough one, though. At first it was hard. I had to step through that dangerous monad-tutorial-writing disease, and, when health came back, I was so weak I was just thinking to forget about it. If you can quit smoking, you can do anything. Till you find out you have to change WM. Contributing to XMonad has been such a great learning experience. I'm really grateful for that. Andrea PS: I was forced to follow David as soon as I started to understand where he was headed with the new class branch not only because I wanted to steal some of his secrets on software engineering, bu also because I did something similar with the Xmobar plugin infrastructure when I wrote it...;)
