Please find, for review, the debconf templates of ion3. This review will last from Sunday, June 03, 2007 to Wednesday, June 13, 2007. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. General note: the templates may seem to be debconf abuse but this has been discussed with Ben Hutchings, the maintainer, and we concluded that, given the very clumsy license of the upstream software, they're better be kept.

Description: keyboard-friendly window manager with tiled windows
Ion, based on PWM, is an unusual window manager with no overlapping
windows. Windows are placed in tabbed frames which may be arbitrarily
split to create additional frames, making keyboard navigation much
easier. Flexible configuration is possible thanks to Lua, which is
used as the configuration language.
.
There is also support for so-called 'floating workspaces' where
windows are managed the conventional way, so that you can still run
applications which do not fit very well into Ion's window management
approach. A pwm3 binary is included which starts Ion with floating
workspaces as the default, thus replacing the now obsolete PWM window
manager.
