I'd like to revert the [http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/?title=Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome&diff=20393&oldid=20383 recent changes by Thayer]; I think a FAQ should link to canonical information in categorized pages rather than the other way around. (Also, Thayer did not update the language when cut+pasting to the FAQ!) If there is an issue about duplicating content, I think there should be a new page created for common content among Gnome/KDE/XFCE/etc environments. Better yet we should link to the module docs ([http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Hooks-ManageDocks.html for example]) rather than duplicate it many times on the wiki. If there is an issue with the content of the module docs, we should fix them; patching via darcs is nearly as easy as wiki-editing. Thoughts? —[[User:Datagrok|Datagrok]] 15:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Excellent update! I came back to re-install xmonad to my joy found that all the instruction were already updated! --Jevin

Are these instructions for 0.6 or 0.7? The first paragraph says that these are 0.6 but there has been a lot of changes in the page since the release of 0.7. I am confused --Adityam

I think everything mentioned should work for 0.6, but I have not double-checked to be sure. Give it a try. —Datagrok
It was easier to just install 0.7 :) --Adityam

I'd like to revert the recent changes by Thayer; I think a FAQ should link to canonical information in categorized pages rather than the other way around.

If there is an issue about duplicating content, I think there should be a new page created for common content among Gnome/KDE/XFCE/etc environments. Better yet we should link to the module docs (for example) rather than duplicate it many times on the wiki.
