9 Welcome to Scrotwm's website.<p>
11 Scrotwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11.
12 It tries to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can
13 be used for much more important stuff.
14 It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do
17 It was largely inspired by
18 <a href="http://xmonad.org/">xmonad</a>
20 <a href="http://www.suckless.org/dwm/">dwm</a>
22 Both are fine products but suffer from things like:
23 crazy-unportable-language-syndrome, silly defaults, asymmetrical window
24 layout, "how hard can it be?" and good old NIH.
25 Nevertheless dwm was a phenomenal resource and many good ideas and code
27 On the other hand xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama
28 support but is crippled by not being written in C.
30 It was written by Marco Peereboom & Ryan Thomas McBride on
31 <a href="http://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</a>
32 and it is released under the ISC
33 <a href="license.html">license</a>.
34 Patches can be accepted provided they are ISC licensed.<br>
