Sol takes inspiration from many other libraries. Its name is a play on the WoW Sea and Sky addons. However, at the moment I'm the sole developer. There are undoubtedly things that I've done suboptimally and many areas for expansion and optimization. I welcome any and all help with testing, maintaining, and adding to Sol.
