This project was christened XWin.org. freedesktop.org has existed since the late 1990s, basically as just Havoc with a bunch of standards (e.g. .desktop, NETWM). In mid-2003, XWin and freedesktop made the decision to essentially merge, and XWin folded all its services into freedesktop.org. fd.o took that opportunity to extend immensely (and got its own machine for the first time), and ended up being somewhat of a focal point for X development.
