==Stated aims== The project aims to catch interoperability issues much earlier in the process. It is not for legislating formal standards. Stated goals include: * Collect existing specifications, standards, and documents related to X desktop interoperability and make them available in a central location. * Promote the development of new specifications and standards to be shared among multiple X desktops. * Integrate desktop-specific standards into broader standards efforts, such as [[Linux Standard Base]] and the [[Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual|ICCCM]]. * Work on the implementation of these standards in specific X desktops. * Serve as a neutral forum for sharing ideas about X desktop technology. * Implement technologies that further X desktop interoperability and free X desktops in general. * Promote X desktops and X desktop standards to application authors, both commercial and volunteer. * Communicate with the developers of free operating system kernels, the X Window System itself, free OS distributions, and so on to address desktop-related problems. * Provide source repositories ([[git (software)|git]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/ |title=freedesktop.org git |website=Gitweb.freedesktop.org |access-date=2013-09-22}}</ref> and [[Concurrent Versions System|CVS]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/ |title=ViewVC Repository Listing |website=WebCVS.freedesktop.org |access-date=2013-09-22 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131008063349/http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/ |archive-date=2013-10-08 }}</ref>), web hosting, [[Bugzilla]], mailing lists, and other resources to free software projects that work toward the above goals.
