Ubuntu Wiki

This is the home page for the Ubuntu focus-follows-mouse team.

Information for users can be found at the FocusFollowsMouse page.

Our broad aims are as follows:

• Fix bugs which affect users of focus-follows-mouse.
• Build new features in the spirit of focus-follows-mouse.
• Maintain an Ubuntu PPA against the latest release with bug fixes and new features.
• Provide resources to help people who use or might be interested in using focus-follows-mouse.

This is currently a skeleton page because the team is very new.
