Xara X is going Open Source

[Craig Brooksby]

Just want to say that I used Xara X for illustrations and really
learned a lot on it.  I am not a trained artist, I am a passionate
amateur.  It's not photoshop.  It's not illustrator.  It's both /
something in between / not quite either.  Art purists may dismiss it
with "Hmpf!" but if you like to draw and learn, it's a great tool. 
Check it out.  Thanks for this news!  Craig
