Sharing ideas and resource at create.freedesktop.org (NewsForge)

[Posted October 20, 2005 by cook]

Nathan Willis looks at advantages gained by sharing common resources among applications. "Part of what makes open source software thrive is code sharing and reuse. The Create initiative at freedesktop.org targets this issue by bringing together developers from Inkscape, Scribus, Krita, the Open Clip Art Library, and the GIMP, among others, along with interested individuals. Together they are collaborating on a set of specifications they believe will simplify work for developers and distributions, and usability for end users."
