Introduction
-OpenGLUT is an open source project to evolve the GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit) API (Application Programming Interface). OpenGLUT uses the FreeGLUT code base as a foundation for extending, enhancing and refining the API. Our initial goal is to define and implement OpenGLUT API Version 1.0 - intended to supercede the GLUT 3.x API by Mark Kilgard and implemented by FreeGLUT.

Motivation
* GLUT is a popular, portable and well documented API
* The GLUT abstraction is tidy and easy to learn
* Mark Kilgard's implementation has known bugs/features/limitations
- * Mark Kilgard's implementation is not actively maintained and is not available as open source
+ * Mark Kilgard's implementation is not actively maintained and is not
+ available as open source
* There are areas of the GLUT that would benefit from refinement
* Interactive 3D graphics is rapidly evolving
- * The FreeGLUT project is constrained by the requirement of an open source, 100% compatible GLUT 3.7 implementation
+ * The FreeGLUT project is constrained by the requirement of an open
+ source, 100% compatible GLUT 3.7 implementation
Features
As a new project, several areas are being considered for OpenGLUT 1.0
