Abstract
--------
-window manager improved 2 (wmii) [1] is an improved, modularized and
-lightweight X11 window manager which supports tabbed, tiled and
-conventional window management through layouts.
-wmii consists of components that are independent processes and
-communicate via a socket-based virtual filesystem which is oriented
-on the "everything is file" paradigm of the Plan 9 [2] operating system.
-The core distribution of wmii contains the window manager itself,
-a master file system routing utility (wmiifs), a generic bar (wmiibar),
-a shortcut handler (wmiikeys), and a generic interaction menu (wmiimenu)
-beside several tiny utilities like wmiir, wmiiplumb, and wmiiwarp.
+window manager improved 2 is a dynamic window manager for X11.
+It supports classic and tiled window management with extended
+keyboard, mouse, and 9P-based [2] remote control.
+It consists of the wmiiwm(1) window manager, the wmiir(1)
+remote access utility, and a tiny wmiimenu(1).

Configuration
-------------
-The configuration of wmii is done by customizing the existing actions.
-Customizing an action means copying the appropriate file from the directory
-$WMII_CONFDIR (usually /usr/local/etc/wmii-3) to
-$HOME/.wmii-3 and editing it to fit your needs. The action of main
-interest is called 'wmiirc': it is executed on startup.
+The configuration of wmii is done by customizing the wmiirc script,
+which remotly controls the window manager and handles various events
+the window manager reports while runtime.
+To customize the wmiirc, copy the file from PREFIX/etc/wmii-3
