> If i3 is descended from wmii, that's news to me.
I meant as heavily inspired by it, not as based on the same code. From https://i3wm.org/:
> Based upon the experiences we made when wanting to hack/fix wmii, we agreed upon the following goals for i3...
Also, from the manpage i3(1):
> i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time, didn’t provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right, for example), had some bugs, didn’t progress since quite some time and wasn’t easy to hack at all (source code comments/documentation completely lacking). Still, we think the wmii developers and contributors did a great job. Thank you for inspiring us to create i3.
> wmii moved to Google Code[1] before becoming abandonware before Google Code shut down.
Both wmi's and wmii's code can also still be obtained at https://dl.suckless.org/. Those are packages, though. It's great that the repo for wmii is still available. Thanks for those links.
