* Version : 4.16.1
* Upstream Author : Ingo Bürk
* URL : https://github.com/Airblader/i3
* License : (BSD-3-clause)
* Programming Lang: (C, Perl)
* Description : i3-gaps – i3 with more features including gaps, smart borders and smart gaps
i3-gaps is a fork of i3wm, a tiling window manager for X11. It is kept up to date with upstream, adding a few additional features such as gaps between windows
*** Why should it be submitted and differences to the original (vanilla i3): ***
i3-gaps is a popular fork of the most widely used tiling wm (vanilla i3), and is used exclusively by many people. It essentially contains a superset of functionalities to vanilla i3, and its gaps and smart border features as well as added i3bar RGBA transparency make it not only more pleasing to use, but easier to distinguish individual window frames without having to resort to colourful window frames and title bars as in the original.
It is included on the main repositories of most major distributions right now, and for good reason.
*** Maintaining the package: ***
I am a regular user and i plan to maintain the package by myself. I will need a sponsor, since i am starting out now.
It will also close this RFP bug (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=909646)
