1.3 Where are the mailing list archives?
----------------------------------------
Phillip Smith from Netplex, our wonderful provider of windowmaker.info, has
set up some new lists from the domain. Please read the information on the
web pages at http://www.windowmaker.info/lists.html for information on how
to subscribe, the posting guidelines, and how to access the web archives.
Many thanks to Ed Orcutt who hosted the original lists from his own machine
for many years and Caldera who graciously allowed Ed to continue hosting
from them when he moved to his new position with them. Ed provided a very
valuable service for many years and we are sad to see him go.

Besides the mailing list archives, there are nice documents in

An appicon is the icon (without the tiny titlebar a minimized application icon
has) produced by most applications that initially is in the bottom left corner
of the screen while an application is running. For an example, run xterm and
notice the icon in the corner. (Make sure that you use xterm and not a
default older rxvt because older versions of rxvt do not properly set their
window attributes.)
notice the icon in the corner.
1.6. How can I get a question added to the FAQ?
----------------------------------
Right now, the only method is to mail Chris Green <sprout@dok.org> or
myself <largo@current.nu> the question or post it on the Window Maker
Mailing list, and see if enough people have the same problem.
Ask on the mailing list, or send your request to faqs@windowmaker.org
If you are a developer and would like to be able to edit the official FAQ on
Chris's site, let him know at <sprout@dok.org>
He is currently pondering writing a front end that allows everyone to add
entries and only require a moderator approval before being posted.
Other avenues are the Window Maker wiki
http://bugs.windowmaker.org/projects/wmaker/wiki
and the forums
http://bugs.windowmaker.org/projects/wmaker/boards
1.7. How do I report bugs?
----------------------------------
You can look at the BUGFORM file in your tarball of Window Maker.
Alternatively, you can use the Window Maker Bugtracker at
http://windowmaker.info/cgi-bin/bugs.
