- The Free Widget Foundation (FWF) is looking for volunteers
- interested in helping to produce a top-quality set widgets
- available to the public at no cost.
-
- The Free Widget Foundation began two years ago as a volunteer
- effort to gather a set of free widgets for use in building complex
- user interfaces. We currently have a set of widgets available
- via ftp from a.cs.uiuc.edu in the directory ~ftp/pub/fwf.shar.Z,
- and have a mailing list of nearly 200 members. Several X
- applications now use the FWF library.
-
- The FWF is currently extending itself from being an ad hoc widget
- repository, to an organized effort to produce a powerful, complete
- widget set. Our goal is to have an initially extended and
- reorganized widget set available at the end of 1992.
-
- If you are interested in helping with the effort, would like to
- be added to the mailing list, or would just like more information
- on the Free Widget Foundation, please send mail to:

- free-widgets-request@kazoo.cs.uiuc.edu
