1)Moving tagged windows to current WS. 2) Rearange WS's

Hi ,
its me again :). Let say that i tagged few windows on some workspaces, i moved to another one and i want all
tagged windows moved here. Simple function which do it is 

local function tagged_move(group)
   local region=WMPlex.attach_new(group,{type="WGroupWS",name="name",...})
   ioncore.tagged_attach(region)
end

it works ok when destination ws is empty, problems appears when its not. I think the nice way to do it woild be
by using 'ioncore.tagged_first(true)' or 'ioncore.tagged_i()' but first one some how doesnt want to
return tagged region. Im sure that there is some extremely simple solution for it so if somebody knows it 
pls help.

My second question is if it's possible to rearange WS and how to do it?. Till now i havent had enough time to
think about it but it wold be nice possibility

Best Regards
Lukas

Status?

So, I just set up a fresh, clean install of my OS and I'm now
looking to install missing critical software. Which brings me
to Ion3, and you all.

The most up-to-date information I could find was on Wikipedia,
which points me at:
   tuomov's archives: http://tuomov.iki.fi/software
   the Notion fork:   http://notion.sourceforge.net/
   the Anion fork:    http://code.google.com/p/anion3/

What should I be installing? And why are there two forks?

Not a blog; Windows 7 vs. Ion; displays, laptops, etc.

Since I put up a new site with an archive of my software, a few have
asked me to return the non-blog online as well. I don't think that
will happen. I can't be arsed to start blogging again; it's a waste of
time. I shortly entertained the idea of combining the good/essential
material into a longer “Goodbuy, suckers!” anthology, but... even
pissing on Linux (desktop *nix) is a waste
of time. Ignorance is a bliss, and I'm much happier ignoring it all
and sticking to Windows. Windows 7 is, in fact, not that bad at all.

Yeah, I have been using Windows 7 for some weeks now. It's
surprisingly good, far more keyboard-usable than previous releases of
Windows.. let alone popular Linux DEs, which have always been inferior
to Windows. Of course, I'm looking at everything through the
Trackpoint-glasses; I probably would find W7 far less usable if I only
had a normal mouse or, *shudder*, or had to rely on the shotgun err..
touchpad.

One reason for the improved keyboard-usability is the integration of
search into Windows 7. No more browsing of endless menu and dialog
hierarchies (esp. control panel and startmenu), just search. No need
for third-party launchers, which never worked very well on XP; just
hit the Windows key and start typing. In a way, this is a partial
return to the command line interface. Maybe there's still a trace of
sanity left in the world.

Windows 7 even supports proto-tabbing and proto-tiling. By "pinning"
an application/shortcut to the taskbar, you can use Win+number to
cycle through instances of that application. (The visual indication of
the chosen instance when cycling is too weak, though; the currently
focussed instance is much more strongly indicated.) And with

FAILgasm

We see it once again!

The failure of FOSS!

The failure of IT!

NOBODY, almost NOBODY, is actually interested in making stuff NOT suck.

NOBODY is interested in the long-term.

All interest lies in short-term satisfaction.

All interest lies in simply making shit run on an ever growing pile of shit.

We see the ENGINEER at work.

We see the BUREAUCRAT at work.

We see them shake hands with the MARKETDROID and the POLITICIAN.

They will provide the chrome polish.

Did we perhaps forget somebody?

License clarifications?

LICENSE:

What counts as an association? notion, ion-ng, nion, cation

Can the custom LGPL additions in the license be removed from a fork fulfilling the terms?
The additions doesn't really make sense in a renamed fork, but I'm not really a lawyer..

Any comments Tuomo? I assume you are unwilling to revert the license, even if we ask nicely? :)

Maybe this has been discussed before too?

Name of the fork / Voting

It seems that most of the recent participants of this mailing list prefer notion as the name for the forking
project. But there were other proposals like cation or nion. Should we do an "official" voting (maybe by
just by replying to this email with +1 for this or for that) or is the name notion now considered a given?

Hope that we get the ball rolling after this decision has been made...next will be choosing a project leader
(i would vote for Timandahaf) / chief developer (I would vote for M Rawash here), but this should be done in
another thread...

FAIL!

LOL and behold!

Let the developer disappear and freetarcy begin!

Forks! 

Project leaders!

Managers!

More project leaders!

Forks! Knives!... But there is no spoon!

Managers! Of Managers!.. But who's going to do all the work?

Modern Features! -- No original ideas!

Managers!

FREEDOM with a CAPITAL BOLD ITALICS rot blinkenlicht F! .. But no originality!

Forks! Clones! Managers! Support for MODERN crud upon MODERN crud!

No original ideas! Clones! A distaste for ANCIENT crud that wasn't crud until it was crushed under a pile of MODERN crud of originality score minus ten!

Managers and project leaders!

Let the forkfight begin!

Future of ion3 / Name suggestion

Hello,
I'm very happy to see that I am not the only one who is using ion3 and thinks about the future (I already posted
about this at the archlinux forums). I fully support the idea of forking it, choosing a new project name and
continuing the development.

I would suggest the following name:
- nion (interesting about this name is, while it would be an acronym for not-ion, it is also the irish name of
the fifth letter of the Ogham alphabet an probably meaning "fork" as I read at wikipedia and what we are
doing here is a fork, isn't it? :) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nion)

If I could be of any help (e.g. taking one of the managing positions Timandahaf mentioned), I would be glad to
do it.

Best regards
