[edit] Librep internals

How to write a librep C modules is not documented. The documentation would have the API, the conventions and an skeleton example with a tutorial of sorts. The example would have all the other helper code like Makefiles and directory structure laid out. The reason for this documentation is so that new X protocols (and OpenGL) modules can be created.

Current Docs:

• Librep_Internals

[edit] Composite Extension, OpenGL and friends

Ostensibly the future of sawfish is have access to the new protocols. One key to implementing is understanding what they do and how they are supposed to be interacted with. To start these pages can be nothing more than links to the specs and basic tutorials.

Current Docs:

• Future_Extensions
• Composite

[edit] Sawfish event system

To aid in development and understanding, There needs to be documentation the X event model and how Sawfish interacts and deals with it.
