OpenRPGUI (short for Open Source RPG User Interface) is a free**, open source and light weight framework for RPG developers on the IBM i to use for building modern looking applications. We have evaluated the current infrastructure of programming in RPG on IBM i and found that the only thing we significantly lack (click here for article) is an efficient means to communicate with a modern user interface.

Our current implementation of OpenRPGUI uses ExtJS as the client framework. In the future we hope to also look into using jQuery and possibly Adobe Flex.
A good place to start with OpenRPGUI is to read the published articles that are documented on the articles page.
