I'm not sure yet that I'm going to use it :) As I said, I'm looking at various options ; from window managers to utilities. So I won't be able to take maintainer on it. I'm also investigating into suckless stuff. That said, I can have a look at the other repo and see if I can manage to modify x11/lemonbar/Makefile to use it. Regards, Jo
