The Create Project is a web-based community focused on communication and sharing between Free and Open Source Creative applications.[1] Initially the project was created by FreeDesktop.org as a space for collaboration between free software creative projects, since then the project has become a full sub-project. Create now aims to develop and consolidate shared resources for creative applications.[2] Several community-developed specifications have begun to be developed under the project such as OpenRaster and the Swatches colour file format.[3]
OpenRaster is a raster graphics file format for non-final images, the aim is to provide a file format for working images that can be used in many raster graphics applications.
A central location for information for projects that work together under the create project that would allow users to more easily switch between said applications.
