Background

Tarkvara Design was originally formed in 1994 to develop an educational groupware product called Interloq. The company has since moved on to other projects, but continues to be devoted to the notion that software can be a tool for the betterment of society. In 2000 Tarkvara Design was incorporated as a worker-run business. The company's offices are in Toronto, Canada.
