well, the lack of recent coverage could be related to the lack of recent development (or at least releases)

the latest item in the news on the main page is from 2008 and the lastest release is from 2005

Well yes -- but if kmself took up my (somewhat joking) challenge and wrote up an article on windowmaker as an example of the classic windowmanager paradigm contrasted to the all-in-one desktop environments that you get with most default linux installs... it could get published here.

No fair challenging me to do it myself; comments are about as much writing as I can stand. I squeaked through grad school with an impressively short list of papers ;^)
