<div><br>I sure can try, but I'm not sure I'm the right person for that (poor student). I don't even know cairo that well.<br>However, if no one else wants to step up, and if a mentor is really required to get this into cairo, then I'll take the time to do it the most rightly I can ( did I mention that I really need that ?).<br>

applications, this experience could help in creating something up to date<br> in Cairo.</blockquote><div><br>OK, so you already know a lot more than I do. You'd better be the mentor ...<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Not to forget there are even more helpful people at the OpenICC list for<br> such a project.<br> <br> I did only use Cairo export functions and did not look deeply into PDF.<br> Someone mentoring these sides would have the main mentoring work.<br>

alpha implementation for that. The default CMM in Oyranos would be lcms.</blockquote><div><br>Why not, sounds reasonable. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
The code could be made available through git. I'm not shure about the<br> implications to security through my git setup. I'll ask at a git list.</blockquote><div><br>Hum, git does not work on my machine (I have no linux up and running right now). Does the minGW port work fine ?<br>
