Hi,
my name is Marcelo Magallón, and I'd like to take over the
maintainance of wmaker, since there are several bugs against wmaker,

current maintainer, Neil A. Rubin <nar5@po.cwru.edu>, but he doesn't
seem to be at that email anymore.
I have several local packages for WindowMaker:

I guess today I would add something like:

to recommend my application?
That can't be *that* hard, can it? Can't take more than ten minutes.
