Microsoft is open sourcing Windows 11's UI framework


Microsoft wants to make Windows 11's UI framework open-source, and it has shared details about this complex process.

Additionally, the team needs to prioritize other things, which include security, stability, and support for existing products. After the WASDK 1.8 release (end of August), we’ll begin more frequent mirroring of internal commits to GitHub to increase transparency and show progress. External developers will be able to clone and build the repo locally, with documentation to guide setup and dependencies.
