WHAT IS FWF?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Free Widget Foundation (FWF) commenced in the summer of 1990.  We
began as an ad hoc, volunteer effort, to generate a publically
accessible repository for X graphical user-interface modules
(widgets).  Over time, many people have contributed widgets of varying
degrees of complexity, and having application across a wide range of
program domains.  

The 'Free Widget Foundation' is an obvious play on the 'Free Software
Foundation', but we are not related to that organization in any way,
apart from sharing the goal of having high-quality software available
to the public at no cost.  

JOINING FWF

The success of this project depends solely on the work of the FWF volunteers.

CURRENT WORK
~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are  trying to construct a much-improved, much-extended version (4.0) of the
free widget set. This version is tentatively scheduled for relase by the end of April,1993. You know where to find it then!!

If you like the Free Widgets concept, please tell other people about it. 
We can't save people any effort if they don't know about us!
