+[[!meta title="GTK+ 3 and other GNOME library packages"]]
+
+GTK+ is a cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.
+It is one of the most popular widget toolkits for graphical applications.  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.
+
