    1.23 +		<p>
    1.24 +		dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
    1.25 +		</p>
    1.26 +		<h2>Differences to wmii</h2	
    1.27 +		<p>
    1.28 +		In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
    1.29 +		Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does
    1.30 +		<b>not</b> include following features wmii provides:
    1.31 +		</p>
    1.32 +		<ul>
    1.33 +			<li>9P support</li>
    1.34 +			<li>status bar</li>
    1.35 +			<li>menu</li>
    1.36 +			<li>editable tagbars</li>
    1.37 +			<li>shell-based config/control file</li>
    1.38 +			<li>small tools (selection printer, mouse warper)</li>
    1.39 +		</ul>
    1.40 +		<p>
    1.41 +		dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
    1.42 +		exceed 2000 SLOC.
    1.43 +		</p>
    1.44 +		<p>
    1.45 +		dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
    1.46 +		extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
    1.47 +		hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
    1.48 +		</p>
    1.49 +		<p>
    1.50 +		dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
    1.51 +		than wmii or larswm).
    1.52 +		</p>
    1.53 +		<p>
    1.54 +		dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or managed
    1.55 +		layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not
    1.56 +		managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and
    1.57 +		fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged. 
    1.58 +		</p>
    1.59 +		<p>
    1.60 +		dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
    1.61 +		estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused
    1.62 +		clients.
    1.63 +		</p>
    1.64 +		<p>
    1.65 +		garbeam <b>don't</b> wants any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support,
    1.66 +		feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b>
    1.67 +		with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeam's needs,
    1.68 +		however you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the
    1.69 +		conditions of the <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>.
    1.70 +		</p>
    1.71 +		<h2>Development</h2>
    1.72 +		<p>
    1.73 +		dwm is actively developed in parallel to wmii. You can <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm">browse</a> its source code repository or get a copy using <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/">Mercurial</a> with following command:
