XPToolkit Project

Vision
We make cross-platform user interfaces as easy to build and customize as web pages.
Elevator Story
straight up or touchy-feely.

Who are we, and what are we doing here?

How do I get plugged in?

We want all our discussions to be open to the net, and captured for the benefit of those who join later. We need your help. Please discuss anything/everything about this project on the XPFE newsgroup.

Where do I start?

New documentation is coming online! Click here to browse the new online documentation. A "Getting Started" orientation guide is also available, with pointers to resources of interest. The old documents will be listed below until the new documentation has been completed.
