Virtual Square: all the virtuality you always wanted but you were afraid to ask

VirtualSquare has a new design, a new codebase and new documentation. This WIKI will not longer be updated. Please refer to the new site (under development): http://wiki.virtualsquare.org

Welcome to Virtual Square wiki!
Here you'll find almost everything you need to know to get started using Virtual Square suite of tools and software. Remember that the software presented in this Wiki is produced by a research project and so the latest developments are extremely experimental.
