  <p>
    These tools are all open source and available on several Linux
    distributions, including Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu and Gentoo,
    and some of the programs have also been ported to
    Mac OS X and Windows.
  </p>
  <p>
    All of these projects solicit input from the widest possible
    community, and libvirt in particular has active developers
    from all the major Linux distros.
  </p>
  <p>
    Red Hat sponsors some of the developers, Canonical are active in
    libvirt development, Novell employees have sent patches, and
    others projects and people come from the rest of the community.
  </p>
  <p>
    If a tool you need is not available on your distro of choice,
    please help to port it.

    a = "
  <p>
    Simply because most of the command line tools are called
    virt-<i>something</i> (such as <code>virt-df</code> and
    <code>virt-manager</code>) and so the name <q>virt tools</q>
    stuck.
  </p>" },
  { name = "project-criteria",
    q = "Can you feature my project?  What are the criteria for being called a virt tool?",
    a = "
  <p>
    The project must be open source with an active upstream community.
    It must complement the existing virt tools (in particular it should
    use libvirt for lifecycle management).
  </p>
  <p>
    Generally we focus on small tools which are useful for
    system administrators who are responsible for a few physical machines.
  </p>
  <p>
    The tool should be easy to install
    (eg. just <code>apt-get install</code> / <code>yum install</code>,
    not needing an expensive consultant to visit you on site!)
  </p>
  <p>
    Our focus is on Linux tools, although a Windows- or Mac-only program
    wouldn't be out of the question if it met the other criteria above.
