Gentoo WM Project

1. Project Description

The WM project manages the wide variety of Window Manager in Portage. These include commonbox (open/flux/blackbox), next generation Blackbox workalikes (openbox3, kahakai), GnuStep (gnu/afterstep, windowmaker), and a number of minimal WM's (ion, ratpoison, etc).

2. Project Goals

The goal of the WM project is to support all WM's in Portage and any additional packages directly related to these WM's. We are also interested in packages that add functionality to the WM, like keygrabbers.
