Sorry, but what the heck is dwm, dmenu? Where is your philosophy statement that can be read? I'm sure everything you're doing is great, but people aren't going to join a mailing list before they at least have a real interest in what you're doing. The current web page does very little to inform someone starting from zero. At least someone as thick as me. Cheers.

This demonstrates that you did not even visit the suckless.org home page [0]. How do I know?

Because the word "philosophy" in the two sentences preid24 quoted links to the very thing you're asking for. It's even a boring-old anchor-tag-link in almost-traditional hyperlink blue on traditional white that reacts on hover.

Also answered by the hyperlinks on the suckless home page.

I didn't go back to the web page before answering the reply, you're right. Still haven't, since i've yet to hear something compelling that I missed the first time.

An abstract philosophy for example, isn't going to leave an impression without some concrete examples of its principles in action.. a screen shot maybe, of the applications mentioned with an explanation of how and why they are better than the alternatives.

N.B. "Take a hike"... this does not seem like a friendly community at all.

That's a pity. You might actually -I don't know- get the answers to your questions.

Whatever. I'm not here to spoon feed you. Take a hike.

You can take what you will from my reaction to your website, or nothing. If you think nobody important will ever share my view, then there's no harm in ignoring me :-)

Sorry that the tone between us became somewhat combative, since that was never how I felt about things for a moment.

Cheers.

Time vampires often feel that they have the best of intentions, and are often unaware of what they are.

Having said that, even the best of us finds that he has accidentally turned into a time vampire on rare occasion.

Hi, I love you. You are a normal person on HN trying to honestly make sense of the world of technology, and not taking any crap from all of the "Haha, U srsly don't know about xvzz and zxcz, LOL" types of people around here. I just love that!

[tux1968]

Thanks. Someone seems to think i'm filled with "ire", when all I was expressing was my genuine experience of not feeling engaged or intrigued by a website. The responses so far seem very defensive.

It's a pity that your admiration is misplaced. tux1968 has let their ire prevent them from launching even the most basic fact finding mission. (That is, actually visiting the home page of the project about which they're asking questions.)
