The X.Org project provides an open source implementation of the X Window System. The development work is being done in conjunction with the [freedesktop.org](http://freedesktop.org) community. The [X.Org Foundation](./XorgFoundation/) is the educational non-profit corporation whose [Board](./BoardOfDirectors/) serves this effort, and whose [Members](./Membership/) lead this work.
The last full release of the entire X.Org stack was [X11R7.7](./Releases/7.7/) - since then individual X.Org modules have been released independently as needed - see [the xorg-announce archives](http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/) for details of those releases, and [https://www.x.org/releases/individual/](https://www.x.org/releases/individual/) for downloads. Information about all [releases](./Releases/) is available. _(Important: If you have an older release, please see the [Security page](./Development/Security/) for information on security updates.)_

Reporting problems, asking questions and getting help
-----------------------------------------------------
* Check to see if your question is answered in the [FAQ](./FAQ/).
* Check the issues for the `xorg` group in the [freedesktop gitlab](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/groups/xorg/-/issues) to report bugs against X.Org.
* Check the [Xorg mailing list archives](http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/)
* Send other questions or comments to [the xorg mailing list](mailto:[email protected]).
* Or get help on [XorgIRC](./XorgIRC/).

* The [DeveloperStart](./DeveloperStart/) page includes information for developers along with links to per-module developer pages.
Mailing Lists
-------------
On [XorgMailingLists](./XorgMailingLists/) you can find a list of X-related mailing lists hosted on lists.freedesktop.org. More mailing lists on X Window System and related technologies along with subscription directions are available at [XOrg Foundation](http://lists.x.org/).
Getting X
---------
The best place to get X is from your operating system or distribution vendor. X.Org currently provides no binaries.
There are many [Mirrors](./Mirrors/) from which you can download source code to the X Window System. If you would like to be a mirror, feel free to do so and add yourself to the [Mirrors](./Mirrors/) page.
Development snapshots are currently on hiatus; most modules now update slowly enough that frequent snapshots aren't needed.
Security
--------
For security advisories please check our [SecurityPage](./SecurityPage/).
Please notify us of any security issues by sending mail to [xorg\[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) .
Sponsorship and Donations
-------------------------
The X.Org Foundation welcomes sponsorship (both cash and in-kind), and tries hard to put the donations of sponsors to transparent good use. The Foundation is an extremely low-overhead all-volunteer organization. If you are interested in contributing, please see our [SponsorshipPage](./SponsorshipPage/).
**Donate via SFC's PayPal:**
**Donation via check or money order:**
Make your check payable to Software Freedom Conservancy and write "X.org" in the memo or reference field. For more information including the mailing address, and details on possible wire transfer please see [https://sfconservancy.org/donate/](https://sfconservancy.org/donate/)
