<p><strong>awesome</strong> is a highly configurable, next generation framework window
manager for X. It is very fast, extensible and licensed under the
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html">GNU GPLv2 license</a>.</p>
<p>It is primarly targeted at power users, developers and any people dealing with
every day computing tasks and who want to have fine-grained control on theirs
graphical environment.</p>

<h1>Concepts</h1>
<p>A window manager is probably one of the most used software in your day-to-day
tasks, with your Web browser, mail reader and text editor.
Power users and programmers have a big range of choice between several tools
for these day-to-day tasks. Some are heavily extensible and configurable.</p>
<p><strong>awesome</strong> tries to complete these tools with what we miss: an extensible,
highly configurable window manager.</p>
<p>To achieve this goal, <strong>awesome</strong> has been designed as a framework window
manager.
It's extremely fast, small, dynamic and heavily extensible using the
<a href="http://www.lua.org">Lua</a> programming language.</p>
<p>We provide an easily usable and very-well documented API to configure and
define the behaviour of your window manager.</p>

</div>
<h1>Features and non-features</h1>
<ul>
<li>Very stable, fast and small codebase and footprint;</li>
<li>First window manager using asynchronous <a href="http://xcb.freedesktop.org">XCB</a>
library instead of the old synchronous
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xlib">Xlib</a>: make <strong>awesome</strong> less subject to
latency than many window managers;</li>
<li>Very well documented source code and API;</li>
<li>No mouse needed: everything can be performed with keyboard;</li>
<li>Real multihead support (XRandR, Xinerama or Zaphod mode) with per screen
desktops (tags);</li>
<li>Implement many <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org">Freedesktop</a> standards:
<a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html">EWMH</a>,
<a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html">XDG Base Directory</a>,
<a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/xembed-spec/xembed-spec-latest.html">XEmbed</a>,
<a href="http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/">Desktop Notification</a>,
<a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/systemtray-spec/systemtray-spec-latest.html">System Tray</a>;</li>
<li>Doesn't distinguish between layers: there is no floating or tiled layer;</li>
<li>Use tags instead of workspaces: allow to place clients on several tags, and
display several tags at the same time;</li>
<li>A lot of Lua extensions to add features: dynamic tagging, widget feeding,
tabs, layouts …;</li>
<li><a href="http://dbus.freedesktop.org">D-Bus</a> support;</li>
<li>And more.</li>
</ul>
<p>This gonna be LEGEN... wait for it... DARY!</p>
