No e16/17 then? Will this be including screenshots? If so we may want to
store them at http://download.sourcemage.org/screenshots/windowmanager/.

afterstep: Old-fashioned modular window manager designed after NeXTSTEP.
Fast with a few special effects.
windowmaker: Similar to afterstep, but built on GNUStep
blackbox: fast, easy, and small memory footprint
fluxbox: as blackbox, but a few more features (so slower and more memory
consumption)
xpde: Not very functional Windows XP "clone"
