<p>Welcome to the home page for the PythonCard project.
Please note that items in <em>italics</em> are still under development.
If you have any questions, suggestions or a burning desire to contribute,
see the <a href="#structure">project structure</a> section below.</p>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>PythonCard is a GUI construction kit for building cross-platform desktop
applications on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, using the
<a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a> language.</p>
<p>The PythonCard motto is "Simple things should be simple and complex
things should be possible."</p>
<p>PythonCard is for you if you want to develop graphical applications
quickly and easily with a minimum of effort and coding. Apple's
<a href="http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?HyperCard">HyperCard</a> is one of our
inspirations; simple, yet powerful.</p>
<p>PythonCard uses <a href="http://www.wxpython.org/">wxPython</a>.
If you are already familiar with wxPython, just think of PythonCard as a
simpler way of doing wxPython programs with a whole lot of samples and tools
already in place for you to copy and subclass and tools to help you build
cross-platform applications.</p>
<p>PythonCard is an open source project and is being developed under the
terms of a <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pythoncard/PythonCard/LICENSE.txt?view=markup">BSD-style license</a>.
This basically means you are free to download and use the executables, source
code, web pages or any other item produced by the project and use it as you
wish, as long as you acknowledge the source of that item and replicate the
license associated with it.</p>

It is open to anyone, so feel free to contribute whatever you can. The
project is co-ordinated via two main sources;</p>
<ul>
<li>The project source code is being hosted by <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythoncard/">SourceForge</a>. This is also the place where you can
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=119015&group_id=19015&func=browse">make bug reports</a>
and <a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=369015&group_id=19015&func=browse">feature requests</a>.</li>
<li>The project is co-ordinated using a mailing list kindly hosted by
SourceForge. You can view the details at the <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pythoncard-users">mailing list</a> page.</li>
