I think this could be a good idea. However, allow me to play devil's advocate for a minute. There are a few questions that come to the top of my head immediately: 1. Is there any evidence that having to upload their config file to some webpage and downloading the generated executable would be any less onerous to users than installing ghc? It seems like it could be a lot of work for not much benefit. (Someone else suggested a command-line interface, which could certainly make things much nicer.) 2. At a more fundamental level--and I realize I am bordering on heresy here--*why* do we care about making it easy for people who don't want to install ghc to run xmonad? I'm not saying there aren't any good answers to this question, just that it should be considered seriously. Anyway, I reiterate that I am not trying to argue against this idea--I think it is fundamentally a good idea-- just suggesting some things for further thought. -Brent
