Wow. I see only WindowMaker-0.80.2-alt7.i586.rpm there!

Well so the site lags:
ftp://ftp.windowmaker.org/pub/source/release/WindowMaker-0.80.2.tar.bz2
Regarding unstable branch (Sisyphus), our WM maintainer
participates in WM development so he can judge when pulling from
CVS is OK and prescripted :-)

Yes -- at least it's quite a tasty build (with say single-click
option and hotkeys which can be bound to icons, and interesting
though somewhat beta virtual "background space" support -- can't
describe exactly, but looks like you have static clip/dock/menus
and if some windows are partially off-screen, you can "slide"
over them and the whole set of windows on this exact virtual
desktop will shift).

GNUstep and WM fans make a considerable amount of team members:
