This page is the portal of sawfish developments.
Want to join?
It's hard to tell the current status in short.
- Read mailing list, or its archive. That's our main communication method.
- Use git repository. Summary may be tracked via Changelog or news.texi.
If you find an interesting item in Proposed Goals, then declare it in the mailing list, and send us a patch. (Unless it's marked as assigned to someone, it's likely that none is working on that item. We're short of developers. Items in Long term todos are left untouched.)
Todos
- Proposed Goals - todos for the coming release.
- Long term todos
- Past todos is a partial list of what is accomplished.
- Versioning scheme
If possible
(Dec 2008) No one seems to be working on the items listed under this category.
Composite Extension, OpenGL and friends
Ostensibly the future of sawfish is have access to the new protocols. One key to implementing is understanding what they do and how they are supposed to be interacted with. To start these pages can be nothing more than links to the specs and basic tutorials.
Current Docs:
Known difficulty
Some know difficulty in development can be found at Patches (suspended).
Bug reports
- Open bugs on bugzilla.gnome.org, of
- All Sawfish bugs on bugzilla.gnome.org
- Bugs reported in bugs.debian.org
- Bugs in sourceforge.net tracker (visible only when logged it)
To report a bug at bugzilla.gnome.org, choose:
- classification: Other
- application: sawfish / librep / rep-gtk
If you're not sure of which the bug is, choose sawfish.
For search from browser (like Firefox smart keyword), use the following url:

Librep & rep-gtk
Librep internals
How to write a librep C modules is not documented. The documentation would have the API, the conventions and an skeleton example with a tutorial of sorts. The example would have all the other helper code like Makefiles and directory structure laid out. The reason for this documentation is so that new X protocols (and OpenGL) modules can be created.
Current Docs:
Window manager specs
Small window managers can be taken as tutorials for how to implement window managers. Examples are:
- tinywm - this is the minimal. start here.
- failsafewm - then read this.
Move to other hosts?
Migration to other development hosts were discussed several times. The latest one is here.
