Motivation

Problems

• Delphi doesn't run on Linux
• No free non-commercial or free limited commercial license is provided.
• As no free version is available no new programmers will start using Delphi in future
• Delphi installation is too heavy (bloated).
• Offline help contains code examples and other information related to C++ Builder which is not interesting for Delphi programmers.
• Delphi can build multi-platform applications but only for commercially interesting platforms.

Goals

• Create open source alternative to Embarcadero RAD Studio/Delphi and Delphi compiler.
• Create community development portal (forge) - to allow to make common project management tasks easy.
• Provide tutorials and learning stuff for new beginners programmers
