jws - Introduction
==================

A short overview
----------------

I started writing jws and jwm on April 11th 1995.  It wasn't intended
as a window manager for X11 and still isn't.  It's rather a prototype
for the GUI of my own OS.  I'm currently testing the look and feel of
it, which means that I'll probably change quite some things and
eventually drop the X11 line of development completely.

In spite of that some people asked me whether they're allowed to use it
as their window manager and I've allowed it under the condition that
they don't ask me to fix bugs or make improvements.

Since you're reading this documentation, you're probably also
interested in it, so have a look at what I've compiled here.  And ask
me if you have more questions (but only after reading the FAQ and the
other documents).

Further reading
---------------

If you're interested in jws, please have a look at the following
documents before you bother me with questions:

- the FAQ[1]

- the font[2]

- how to get and install[3] jws

- how to configure[4] it

- a list of known bugs and deficiencies[5]

A copy of this documentation is available online[6].
