From NDesk

NDesk provides standards-based implementations of open specifications pertaining to the free desktop. An emphasis is placed on correctness, performance and portability, with MIT licensing terms used to ensure that the platform code is available to all integrators without bias.

This site also hosts projects which integrate the standard implementations to produce original research into the desktop platform that has already yielded inspiration and working code for applications that ship today with the GNOME desktop environment, Xorg and other projects.
