"Mochi" is a user interface language/library that was intended for use on a (now abandoned) version of webOS for phones and tablets. It has now been released as open source under the Apache 2.0 Licence.

From the announcement:

While we don't have any immediate plans to resume our Mochi work, we would be thrilled to see the community pick up where we left off.

The code is available on git, and a wiki is starting to take shape.

If only all abandonware were open-sourced, what a rich world it would be.

    with this you are talking about a GUI that is HARD CODED to run on a specific OS that NO LONGER EXISTS.

    Is it? My understanding was that it's a JS-based framework that outputs touch-friendly HTML5 widgets.

    enyo, the underlying framework is cross-platform [enyojs.com], so what is specific about Mochi that ties it to webOS - that couldn't be adapted to Android or FFOS with minimal porting?
