All, We are very pleased to announce that Paolo Martini's project proposal to add support for the new cairo[1] vector graphics library to Gtk2Hs[2] has been selected to receive a grant in Google's Summer of Code[3] programme. This will make it possible to create GUIs in Haskell that take advantage of cairo's sophisticated vector graphics capabilities and its high quality display and print output. Paolo now has until the beginning of September to complete the project and receive the full $4500 grant. I know everyone will join me in wishing him the best of luck! Paolo will be maintaining a blog about his project on the Gtk2Hs website. We would also like to thank Google for recognising the importance of supporting projects like Gtk2Hs and hscairo[4] that aim to make Haskell an even more versatile programming system.
