I know this is currently just in discussion, but if this comes to fruition can I suggest it be called "The Devuan Community's  Crapton Repository" or the DCCR for short.  Of course in the Devuan community It will simple be known as Crapton.

-- to be clear, I'm not expecting anyone to take this suggestion seriously.

That sounds like a pretty sweet gig,  I loved the ads.  Some were so technical and straight to the point.  I liked those. Then others were as you said "bizzarro". 
I enjoy the modern PC, but I really hated seeing the home computer scene being replaced with the era of  PCs.

Thanks.  I remember seeing it when browsing the git, but I forgot about it.  I just needed reminded.

I guess it's a bit of nostalgia mixed with pure nerdiness, but I've been reading though old Compute! Gazette Magazines at archive.org

Maybe I've been watching to much of "Adrian’s Digital Basement" and "8-bit guy"

That is a wise decision . I will also shorten my previous post to maintain more of a JWM Kit focus.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to see JWM Kit being used in other projects.. Sorry about the bad timing of our 2 releases. Feel free to check with me next time to make sure I don't have anything new worth waiting for.

I checked out your AntiX respin. Nice. Glad you're keeping 32bit alive. Providing an iso with multiple window manager must be a lot of work. Never heard of zzzfm. Reminds me of SpaceFM. I will have to look into it.

I noticed a few missing icons in the menus. Might I suggest using JWM Kit Icons to add the following icon paths to your config.

/usr/share/icons/papirus-antix/24x24/apps/
/usr/share/icons/antix-papirus/
/usr/share/icons/papirus-antix/24x24/places/

I see you used JWM 2.4.0.  Nice. I have notice that sometime 2.4.0 will not load the data from an executable Include on startup.  When this happens JWM Kit Easy Menu's data is not loaded. You need to refresh jwm for the menu to load. In the default JWM Kit config just select "Refresh" from the exit menu, or run jwm -restart from the terminal. I've seen this issue discussed somewhere else and they said they had to logout and log back in. That is not true. Just refresh JWM and it's good. I've submit an issue to the JWM github about this.  I figured I'd make you aware of this issue so  you'd know how to advise if a user complained about it.

There use to be a few well maintained third party repositories.  I especially remember that getdeb.net and playdeb.net were very useful for Ubuntu users.  I guess maintaining a quality repository is just to big of a job.

It seems to me that if the content of the AUR is submitted by the users, Then those same users could review the content that is submitted.   I believe a few extra steps in the process could improve the AUR greatly.

My opinion on Dark mode is that is depends on the purpose of the text. I prefer dark mode for most jobs, but if I'm using office software I need the white background. I feel that the whole purpose of office software is to create documents that look good on paper. So it needs a background the color of paper. Which is white.

EDIT : Of course syntax highlighting is not used in office apps.  So I guess when it comes to anything with syntax highlighting I prefer dark mode.

Interesting.  I've noticed there are many things this misspelled init-system   does do well.  Despite all it's drawbacks it would be wise to learn from the things it does do well.

New Release : JWM Kit 20220203 - The 5th Stable Release
Release Page

Downloads - Updated packages and build files

If you need an updated JWM Kit Linux you must download and install the deb package on JWM Kit Linux

What's NEW? Mostly fixes, small improvements, cleanup, optimization, etc, but the big change is :

• Create and edit Themes with JWM Kit Appearance

• Find more info and pretty pictures of the new JWM Kit Appearance in the Wiki page

What happened to the 4th release? It was released Yesterday and was quickly replaced after I found and fixed a couple of issues.

I expect a slight improvement of efficiency in the up coming stable, I doubt this will help system performance though since JWM Kit has always been designed to not run in the background and avoid execution when not need. In other words an improved JWM Kit will do little to improve performance if JWM Kit was not the cause of any performance issues to begin with.

The big difference will be JWM Kit Keys which is used to configure key binding. Keys is now 40% less code, lighter on resource while providing major interface improvements. To be clear that is Just the "Keys" tool not the whole kit. While their will be improvements to the rest of the kit it will not be as drastic.

While smaller code size does not always mean more efficient code, it is a good sign.  I'd like to point out that new packages are almost always smaller than the previous version despite the addition of features along with new or improved icons, etc. Of course I don't know how much longer I can keep that up, because simply put more features means more code. I've just managed to keep it down by refining the code every release.

As for the DWM vs JWM. I'm not a fan of Dynamic tiling. As Andy said "once you get used to  it." The deal is I don't get used to it. I think it's my vision. I don't want my screen divided in to smaller parts. I want what I"m looking at big and up front with the ability to float another window on top out of the way when needed.

To be fair to DWM I've not really used it. So who knows.  Maybe it gets tiling right for me.

. . . and to quote myself

Will I guess I overstated that. because I guess parts of JWM Kit do have purpose outside of JWM.  Although much of it is specific to enhancing JWM.

So what parts of JWM Kit could you use to enhance a  non-jwm system.

Note : I've shorten the names. We all know the full names start with 'JWM Kit", just like XFCE apps start with XFCE4

• Calendar

• Logout

• Time & Date

• Settings

• Popvolume (The core of JWM Kit's volume control and notification.  Assign it to keys, or mouse bindings)

• Freedesktops (similar to MenuLibre)

• Wallpaper (limited, it works also with SpaceFM, PCManFM, and ROX Desktops . . . but would be easy to add support for xseroott, feh, etc.)

What parts are specific to JWM and would not be useful in a non-JWM system

• appearance

• trays

• menus

• startups

• groups

• keys

• icons

• Repair & Restore.Battery Menu

I'm sure I missed something, butt that's the short version and it still seemed kind of long.

So is there much interest in a non-jwm version of JWM Kit, and what would I call it. maybe X-JWM Kit?
