+Ion (based on PWM) is a new kind of window manager that brings a
+text-editorish, keyboard friendly user interface to window management. 
+
+Modern GUIs are unusable. Overlapping windows are hard to manage, especially
+from the keyboard, and the user often ends up in a jungle. Not to mention the
+application programs, which are even worse. Mouse-based search-and-click
+interfaces are slow - keyboard is fast having learnt the commands. Ion (the
+last three letters of vision =-) was written as an example and an experiment of
+something presumably better (just the window manager, though). 
+
+Ion simply divides the screen into frames that take the whole screen. Big
+displays have so much space that this is convenient and smaller displays
+couldn't show more than one window at a time anyway. The frames can be split
+and growing the size of one will shrink others. Alike in PWM, clients can be
+moved between frames and multiple clients can be attached to one frame. 
+
+With Ion you will hardly ever have to touch the mouse again for navigation
+between windows and the windows are always in order.
