As you can see, the openmpt.org front page has changed quite a bit! The new custom theme should be easier and more fun to use.

Replacing the old and outdated XWiki, our new English OpenMPT Wiki has gone live today. The articles were written up and copied from Harbinger's Offline Help Manual since last year.

We need people that can help us proof-reading articles from the existing help document and transfer them to our new wiki. Are you interested? Read on here...

MPT-FR used to be an independent French ModPlug community. Unfortunately, the site got into hosting trouble and went off-line earlier this year.
