The Free Widget Foundation (FWF) was first organized in the summer of 1990, as
|
|
|
|
|
a grass-roots, all-volunteer effort to generate a publically accessible
|
|
|
|
|
repository for X widgets. The goal of the FWF was to gather a set of
|
|
|
|
|
powerful, flexible, freely-accessible widgets, assisting programmers to
|
|
|
|
|
construct complicated user-interfaces. Furthermore, we wanted to discourage
|
|
|
|
|
multiple parties from "reinventing the widget" multiple times, and encourage
|
|
|
|
|
the development of a single, quality object.
