   * [Hard] Add appropriate color-management support to cairo.
 
+    Cairo needs the ability to allow for color management. By this project it 
+    will become possible to work in different color spaces, convert 
+    automatically to blend different content and tag graphics objects to tell 
+    backends about the color spaces involved. The colour space information 
+    will follow the ICC standard.
+
+    In this project you will learn about the constraints at different OS'es and handle API abstraction. 
+    During the programming work you will design and implement the 
+    corresponding means covering frontside API's and backend specific code due 
+    to file formats and other specific requirements.
+    A small application, showing the new capabilities, will help in spotting 
+    problems and can later be used for demonstrations.
+    A unit test and documentation is required for maintainablility and further 
+    easy deployment.

   * [Medium] Add HDR image surface type to cairo/pixman (`CAIRO_FORMAT_ARGB64`).
 
     The new image format will implement the [scRGB](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrgb) colorspace.
