The point is, I think it would be beneficial for XMonad to merge efforts in one one point.<div>For this reason I've contacted Adam (the current maintainer) and asked him if I could co-maintain XMonad.</div><div>The point is trying to make all our efforts in only one point. This is an excerpt of what I've told him:</div>

Git and github is such an effective tool that can't be ignored any longer. Furthermore, there is a lot of hype this days for osxmonad, which apparently build upon Xmonad, reusing it as much as possible. They are on github too. Working thightly with them we could create a family of product, with a bulk core (microkernel) and different adaption layer according to the Os (linux rather then mac os x)</span></blockquote>
<div> </div><div>Your fork could be a starting point, we could merge everything under one, centralized repo on github, switching for a user based account to an organization profile (XMonadWM or simply XMonad are two possible names, for example).</div>

</div></div>Me and a couple others from the University of Copenhagen are running a<br>
fork of both XMonad and XMonadContrib here:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/reenberg/xmonad" target="_blank">https://github.com/reenberg/xmonad</a><br>
<a href="https://github.com/reenberg/XMonadContrib" target="_blank">https://github.com/reenberg/XMonadContrib</a><br>
<br>
Jesper Reenberg is in charge and we're patching bugs in our spare<br>
time. We're both running this version daily (it's not bug free, but<br>
it's stable "enough").<br>
