* [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.
