[edit] GHC only?

Does XMonad work on anything other than GHC? I think this should be noted somewhere.Catofax 08:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

The main StackSet.hs module does compile with Yhc most of the time (dons breaks it occasionally, but it does always get fixed). XMonad as a whole only works on GHC, as I believe the X11 libraries are only available for GHC. --User:NeilMitchell 22:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

It should run in Hugs -- X11 does. But that would be an odd thing to do.

I note, though, the article already says:

Platform: Cross-platform; requires X Window and GHC

It makes use of [..] GHC extensions like pattern guards

Seems clear enough.

The use of pattern guards means that it won't compile on Hugs --NeilMitchell 10:54, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect 'features not available to dwm users' paragraph?

When discussing features which dwm apparently derived from xmonad, the size hinting feature is (incorrectly) mentioned, with illogical citations. These point to a discussion about making it the default (whereas it had previously been optional), and a patch to fix a logic error in the implementation, whereas dwm has supported size hints via the boolean 'sizehints' argument to resize before xmonad was even conceived (the first ~correct implementation which dates to 17 months ago, judging from the diff at http://www.suckless.org/hg.rc/dwm/rev/c478383db7c9 ). 142.177.235.63 (talk) 04:04, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Wiki

i removed (among others) the link to the wiki in the external links section, since it is to be found at the project homepage. If one truly is interested, one can follow the link to the homepage and see all that. However, it may be of value to the Wikipedia community that a project have its own wiki, so, the project wiki could be mentioned in the article (and then *maybe* a link to it would be OK).
