The PlainConfig in contrib works, and the documentation describes the file format and how to write an xmonad.hs to use it. It still lacks the xmonad.conf->xmonad.hs compiler, which I'm "working on" now, though the cottage and nice weather is rather distracting me. In any case PlainConfig is unlikely to be used by someone with GHC installed, so it isn't very relevant to the main release tarballs. I have a nightly build script written for creating ordinary xmonad tarballs and also ones with the precompiled config using PlainConfig. They are still in progress, but soon they will be ready. The goal here is to produce nightly builds of xmonad from darcs that use PlainConfig, and therefore do not require GHC. I will check out the 0.8 release tag and build a PlainConfig binary for that to go alongside the normal release, though it will likely be some time after the 0.8 release. The nightly builds in general will help anyone migrate to the darcs version from the release version, without needing to get darcs and figure out how to compile the source themselves. I'm home at the family cottage for the next week, then moving to New York for my internship with Fog Creek Software[1]. I'm not going to be around much for the next two weeks, but we'll see how much hacking I can get done in the evenings. Braden Shepherdson shspheb
