The software company Xara released a limited version of its graphics design suite as source code in 2005, designed for use under Linux. Various issues caused the Xara developers to abandon XaraLX in favour of the paid/commercial suite that still exists today.
However, the source code for XaraLX is still available on GitHub and I know many frustrated users of the
modern Photo and Graphic designer that would love to see a fork of good old Xara Xtreme polished and up to date.
This project is perfect for small start-up software companies looking for a project - the source code is there but just needs editing.
