-Trac is a '''minimalistic''' approach to '''web-based''' management of
-'''software projects'''. Its goal is to simplify effective tracking and handling of software issues, enhancements and overall progress.
+NOM is the object model on which the Voyager desktop is based.
 
-All aspects of Trac have been designed with the single goal to 
-'''help developers write great software''' while '''staying out of the way'''
-and imposing as little as possible on a team's established process and
-culture.
+== About ==
 
-As all Wiki pages, this page is editable, this means that you can
-modify the contents of this page simply by using your

-of the page. WikiFormatting will give you a detailed description of
-available Wiki formatting commands.
+The main feature of NOM is a release to release binary compatibility of classes.
+This means that classes may be enhanced or added to the framework without
+breaking other classes. These other classes may even be subclasses of the
+modified class. Thanks to this feature it's possible to create binary only
+extensions to the object model which won't break when the object model is
+updated.
+NOM allows to do object oriented programming with languages which are not designed as OO languages.
+
+== How to use NOM ==
+
+Classes are described in the CORBA IDL. An IDL compiler interprets the file and
+outputs binding files for the programming language in question. Right now only
+C is supported but other bindings are possible e.g. C++ or Pascal.
