NAME

       X.Org, XProjectTeam - X.Org Group information


SYNOPSIS

       Release	6.5 and 6.6 of X Version 11 was brought to you by
       The X.Org Group.	 Release 6.4 of X Version 11 was  brought
       to you by The X Project Team.


DESCRIPTION

       The Open Group's X Project Team was created as the succes
       sor to the X Consortium, Inc., after the X Consortium  was
       merged  into The Open Group.  The X.Org Group (hereinafter
       called "X.Org") was created as the successor to The X Pro
       ject  Team after the The Open Group ceased operating The X
       Project Team.  The purpose of X.Org is to foster	 develop
       ment,  evolution,  and maintenance of the X Window System.
       X.Org operates under the corporate umbrella  of	The  Open
       Group.

       The   X	Consortium  was	 an  independent,  not-for-profit
       Delaware membership corporation.	 It was formed in 1993 as
       the successor to the MIT X Consortium.

       The  X  Window  System was created in the mid-1980s at the
       Massachusetts  Institute	 of  Technology.   In  1988,  MIT
       formed a member-funded consortium to provide the technical
       and administrative leadership necessary to support further
       development  of the X Window System.  In 1992, MIT and the
       membership decided it was in their best interests to  move
       the  consortium	out  of	 MIT  and  create an independent,
       stand-alone organization.  All rights to the X Window Sys
       tem  were assigned by MIT to X Consortium, Inc. on January
       1, 1994.	 X Consortium, Inc. closed its doors on	 December
       31,  1996.   All	 rights	 to the X Window System have been
       assigned to The Open Group, for the benefit of the members
       of X.Org.
