Dear ToriOS Team,

Started on Facebook Group:

And continued on ToriOS IRC Channel
#torios @FreeNode

Alex Kluth, a member of ToriOS Community and a programmer.

I will get into the summary of what happened rather than go into the 
deep details :)

Alex will work on a Sub-Project for ToriOS and that project called: 
ToriOS WM (Window Manager).
Yes :D you did read that correctly :D

ToriOS, if this Sub-Project will see the light, will have its 'own' WM 
designed for ToriOS and AFAIK, this never happened before but I could be 
wrong though. However, the idea is not whether we will be the first who 
will come up with our own WM or not, the idea is we might have a WM that 
is designed specially for ToriOS to meet its need and designed for the 
very specific features ToriOS has been found for :D a WM that is simple, 
minimal, basic, useful, etc. Above all, the name of that WM is ToriOS WM :D

Now, breathe ... good :D

This Sub-Project will developed separately and should never ever affect 
the current development of ToriOS and should never interfere with 
anything we're doing. To put that in different way: consider you didn't 
read this email and don't ever think about it. We carry on with what we 
started and Alex work on a different path, that is designing a new WM 
for ToriOS.

If ToriOS WM will be ready before we release ToriOS version 1, then we 
can test it and use it.
If ToriOS WM will be ready before we release ToriOS version 2, then we 
can test it and use it.

You see, it doesn't matter when it will be ready (but that doesn't mean 
it will take ages :P) what I am trying to say this sub-project should 
never affect the current development of ToriOS.

And, in order NOT to confuse anyone, I prefer not to discuss about 
ToriOS WM on this list. However, I shall update you all whenever we have 
something new.

I can't tell you how I feel right now. I am spending each and every bit 
of my energy to control my over excitement :D
I am very glad with this great news and I have never thought about it 
could happen. But, to be really honest with all of you, I've been 
thinking lately and this morning that why not we have our own special 
feature? anything we have for ToriOS that wasn't used before? but was 
too excited that I forgot to mention that to Alex :D

I hope this news will bring more hope and energy to this project and I 
am very confident that ToriOS will be something really special.

Special thanks to Alex (he has full time job by the way so don't expect 
him to show you something over night :D) and special thanks to everyone 
... ToriOS is getting more interesting and I am loving every bit of it.

@Isreal
Does this deserve to be on the news page of our website? :D
