GTK+ +3 uses GLib for an object system, Cairo for widget rendering, Pango for text +layout and rendering, and ATK for accessibility. + +ProteanOS aims to provide a graphical user interface with applications using +GTK+ 3 with Wayland and Weston. To do this, a number of packages need to be +prepared, including cairo, gdk-pixbuf-2.0, harfbuzz, pango, atk-1.0, gtk+-3.0, +libxml2, libsoup, libnotify, and vala-0.24. Depending on the student's time and +interest, the project may be extended to include additional packages from the +Wayland and Weston packages project. + + * Mentor: Patrick "P. J."
