OCaml-IXP is now called OCaml-9P…

There was never such a thing as an IXP protocol, it was rather a clever name of another implementation.

ocaml-wmii is an OCaml replacement for the default wmiirc (used to control Window Manager Improved 2) and has now reached what we call version 1.0. ocaml-wmii does everything that the original wmiirc does, plus some extra features.

If you would like to try it out, get OCaml-9P from here and ocaml-wmii from
http://personal.oscarh.net/stuff/ocaml-wmii-1.0.tar.bz2. You also need an OCaml compiler.

1) Install OCaml-9P
2) Unpack ocaml-wmii
(3) Edit src/wmii_conf.ml, only if you feel the need. Check out the plugins if you chose to edit this.)
4) Compile ocaml-wmii
5) move the wmiirc binary to a place where wmii can find it.

I believe there are more thorough instructions is the README in the package.

OCaml-wmii sources is now published at http://ocaml-wmii.otur.se/hg! Who knows, maybe there will be a “home page” some day :)
