Hello developers,

I made a new window manager and an accompanying status program:

https://wolog.xyz/repos/swm
https://wolog.xyz/repos/infobar

May someone check them out and share opinions?

I am an undergraduate majoring in math and I am about to apply to
computer-related graduate programs. swm and infobar are fruits of my
recent years' devotion to software freedom, and I hope they can be an
important part of my applications. So I am seeking your opinions in
the hope of proving my works' value.

The README of swm is a little long, but you can skip to the "Layout
Description Language" section and see if that interests you. And don't
overlook infobar.

By the way, I license swm under GPL, and clarify in source files that
portions of code that come from dwm are still licensed the same as dwm.
I think it would be neater if I could relicense dwm derived code under
GPL, but for that I need permission from dwm developers. Once given
the permission, I will put the following to source files:

> Based in part on dwm, as developed by Anselm R. Garbe et al. Permission
> to distribute dwm derived code under the GNU General Public License
> has been granted, provided that this notice is retained.

So, dwm developers, how do you like it? Do I need to get permissions
from all of you listed in dwm's LICENSE file, or maybe someone can act
as a representative?

Looking forward to your responses.

Kind regards,
Raymond Cole
