Development reset was one of the main, crucial events of the OpenXP development, which made the development of the codebase drop back to level 0.

Reasons

OpenXP was a beginner project, and therefore it recruited developers with almost no experience and of any age. One of the developers hosted the Git server, until they were kicked out in November after deleting everything over allegations of problematic behavior. Source code was mirrored and backed up by the lead developer on his resources, and the mirror was recovered and development continued.

However development reset was already planned to happen, due to the messy and incomplete behavior of new programs, useless laboratory system and lots of inactive developers. It happened in November, 2024, and since then OpenXP's official website, wiki and download center have been released, with many more things coming soon.
