[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] 2D Library, Vector Library or similar.

[From: Beth]

Hi Xan, I will try to get two implementations working, one with a
GtkDrawingArea and other with cairo.

Nowadays I am still not have nothing working, well, nothing
graphically working, I have an ajax + svg implementation of a
prototype, but I wish to implement as soon as I can the same thing in
a native nokia app.

Sure that I will be here making a bit of noise (jeje maybe boring noise but ...)

Thanks and regards.
