.:11-28-20:.
Hello everyone! I hope you are all staying safe in these rough times and had a good Thanksgiving if you celebrate it. This is just an update letting you
know the current plans for the future of the project. LainWM is a disaster and probably needs to be remade from scratch. Either that, or make it a theme for
either OpenBox, FluxBox, or Xomnad. If you have any thoughts on the matter please email me at Kenshinfo@LainOS.org.
I am also going to work on setting up a mailing list for updates for te project. In any case, I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Cheers,
-Kenshinfo

Hello, welcome to the newest attempt at LainOS. My name is Kenshinfo. I found out about this project a while ago
and I have decided to at least attempt to revamp this project. Not sure how well it will go and all. However, we will have to see.
In the meantime there will be some small updates to the website while I work on fixing the LainWM. Be sure to check back in the future to see the process.
Cheers,
-Kenshinfo

Quick and dirty update: LainOS is on hiatus for a few months more. Our project lead,
Neovanglist is moving across the Big Pond
and will be very unavailable for a while. Once his life has settled down appropriately
we will be able to resume our Schumann and Accela development.
Ciao,

First, Yes, We are still alive. It has been painfully long since the last update
to the frontpage, but information has been sparse. As it sits, the LainOS dev team is
working on what we've named the "Schumann Core." The Schumann Core is going to be data
director of the display server. It will handle the passing of commands to the display
server, client applications, and remote connections.
It is intended to perform functions similar to CORBA and omniorb,
and have a simple API (hey, we can dream... right?).
Our principal coder (and project lead) Neovanglist has the initial draft docs and specs, which
I hope to be uploading in the near future.
Be sure to join us on the IRC Channel to stay as up-to-date
as possible on the current project status.
Forum Update: The
"Help Wanted" thread has been updated
with new information on who and what we are looking for.
Site Changes In the Works: Project status page, FAQ, Screenshots (all one of them), update Contacts page.
... Donations of caffeine and pizza may one day be tax deductable. For the time being, they're merely
appreciated with humble thanks.

P.S. My mail has been spam-bombed. Make sure that "Lainos_Web" is in the subject line.

We've conducted our meeting with the Fresco people
and have mixed opinions about it's validity. There will be a lot of work required
to get it operational and adaptable to our needs. A log of
the meeting is available from the documents page.
A vote will be taken at the Jan 17th Dev meeting as to whether or not
we will be putting our support into the Fresco Project. In doing so, we will be set back by a
brief period as we assist in bringing the project to fruition. If you will not be able to attend
on the 17th, please top by the voting thread
on the boards and let your voice be heard.

2004 brings us a skipped Dev meeting (ya know how those holidays go...), but we
have much to discuss next time, what with the disbanding
of the XFree86 core developers, and a fresh talk with the guys at Fresco.
We're now at a nexus. Begin/resume development of XFreeGL (an attempt at implementing
native OpenGL support into X11), or assist Fresco (who already uses OpenGL). A vote will
be taken at the meeting regarding the path we should take.

Another successful Developer Meeting
has been logged for your perusal. Comments range from version-control
to "help wanted." Attendance was minimal this time, but
there'll be more to come; so you're not out of chances to hear
exactly what's coming up next. Join us next time and put in your comments.
Presently, we're needing help with coding and graphics. Please
check out the
board
for a listing of openings and requirements.

Long awaited LainWM 1.3 Alpha is finally here! Head over to the
downloads page
to get it. It has been confirmed working, out of box, on Debian
3.0 Unstable, and FreeBSD 5.1-Release. Unfortunately, the Style
Sheet translucency was not yet able to be implimented. This is
planned for the upcoming Fluxbox based LainWM release due
in by the end of December. For any concerns with LainWM 1.3 Alpha
please visit the
forums.
Also, the Mailing Lists
are now up. Feel free to sign up and help us build a strong
development community!
Later,
Neovanglist
.:11-08-03:.
Greetings, everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Neovanglist, Zero One,
and Minddog for all their hard work on LainWM-1.3. You guys are awesome.
Okay, on to business. LainWM v1.3 is ready to be released! It will be up some time TODAY!
FURTHER, Developer meetings are now going to be held on a bi-weekly basis. In these meetings,
EVERYONE will have the opportunity to hear-straight from the coders-how things are doing,
ask them questions, and contribute directly anything you can't get across on the boards. The
first of these new meetings will take place today at 7pm PST (GMT -8). I know it's sudden,
but I'd like to see as many of you there as possible; at least you have plenty of warning for
the next one.
More good news, the official mailing lists are up! Subscription information and
further details will be posted later today.
