A light window manager. Based on Blackbox. Not bad, but not as good as Blackbox. I liked Openbox more than this.
Blackbox has been obsoleted six ways from Sunday. See versus Blackbox.

A disk/volume management thing, with SoftRAID and more.
Required kernel patching and I never really did figure it out.

was vwmclient.rubyforge.org
A cross-platform native Ruby language GTK 2.x MU* (Telnet) client written by Mario Steele. It has been released under the LGPL license.
While not yet in a stable form, its goals will be to create a client:server model which allows for client-side processing of scriptlets.

2022-07-12 – Apparently abandoned
- The website is down
- the source code archive as of 202201280 shows the last activity at 2021-02-09. It was a small change and the update previous to that was 2018-10-05.
- The mailing list archive doesn’t tell me enough because it’s an old snapshot.
