[SOLVED] About OpenBox

Hi there!

I have some questions about OpenBox, the think is: im in archlinux world since 4 days i think. and im loving it, i like to have control of my system, only install software that i want. I have learned so much these last days, i can see that OpenBox is very popular, so i installed it and loved it!, but im sad... because looks like OpenBox is a forgotten project, the last release was in the year 2008, why? OpenBox still being popular or that was 3 years ago? Because all post that i can find about OpenBox are very old!!

   I hope OpenBox developers are taking his time to develop OpenBox, i dont like to use software without future!
What is going on with OpenBox?

Re: [SOLVED] About OpenBox

I just googled openbox and clicked 'News' on their website, showing their last stable release to be Feb 2010, which isn't too bad really.

It's not because a project doesn't release every few months that it's dead...

Odd, because that Feb. 2010 release is mentioned right on the web site:

http://openbox.org/wiki/Openbox:News

I did notice that the Arch package is an orphan. Someone should adopt it!
