Merging into a bigger script collection

[orschiro]

Hi there,

Thanks for your efforts to collecting various useful dmenu scripts!

A few weeks ago I had a similar idea, not knowing about your repo at that time.

https://github.com/orschiro/dmenu-scripts-collection

What do you think about merging both efforts and maintaining just one collection repo?

For further scripts to add to such a repo we can also have a look to the newly created subreddit /dmenu:

http://www.reddit.com/r/dmenu/search?q=dmenu&sort=relevance&restrict_sr=on&t=all

Tell me what you think!

This repo doesn't attempt to provide an index of scripts. However, there's certainly value in one, but perhaps it's better suited as a wiki?

Although many of the scripts in dmenu-tools were inspired by those found in the wild (mainly the Arch Linux forums), all have been (re)written very much in-line with the "suckless philosophy", i.e. they are concise, portable (e.g. target pure POSIX shells rather than making use of bash-ism (say)) and try to do as little as possible.

I don't use dmenu currently, but would happily accept contributions that follow the same style.

I think your doc folder is already sufficient. Additionally we could provide an overview of all scripts available in README.md.

So if I understand you correctly, then I could merge my collection into yours by adding the scripts to src and the readmes to doc. Anything else I have to take care of?
