It is a GPL licensed Application Programming Interface to Unix / X with a hopefully growing number of contributed programs....
Here is a short description:

schedule for further development:

The Offix drag and drop protocol is also implemented using Xt. A simple patch is available to make foreign applications compatible....


How can I get it?

The sources of the current OffiX distribution (all tools will be eventually replaced by tools that will use the offix library) are available at ftp.x.org/contrib/desktop_managers/OffiX and leb.net/pub/offix


How can I contribute ?

If you want to contribute you can send e-mail to the OffiX Team You can write new widgets or complete programs using the OffiX API. See the Guidelines for a consistent OffiX programming style.
If you have a patch to some program, or even a complete application that use the DND protocol and want to distribute the package, please put it in the offix incoming ftp directory. We thank you in advance for your contribution!


What is the current state ?

All basic classes are implemented. While writing the OffiX Window Manager as a first serious application we try to fix remaining conceptual problems and bugs.
