XXL is an international project based around an XMM Very Large Programme surveying two 25 deg² extragalactic fields at a depth of ~6 x 10^-15 erg cm^-2 s^-1 in the [0.5-2] keV band for point-like sources. The XXL website is http://irfu.cea.fr/xxl. Multi-band information and spectroscopic follow-up of the X-ray sources are obtained through a number of survey programmes, summarised at http://xxlmultiwave.pbworks.com/.
