Fedora User Interface Projects

Under Construction

This page is still being converted from HTML. Please help us get this page up to date.

This page is the byproduct of a discussion at OR07 about Fedora User Interfaces. We want to keep a running list on this wiki of Fedora UI Projects. Please add your own projects to the list and please update the information contained therein, especially if you have links or contact info for any of the projects. Don't hesitate to add your project, even if you're just contemplating it.

We want to make connections between possible collaborators. Also feel free to rearrange the list if you know of a better way to express the pertinent info.
