Dear QGIS core C++ developer on this list,

The QGIS PSC and some interested funders are in talks with company KDAB to
introduce CMYK support in the qt library.

Adding support in qt is a very important prerequisite for CMYK support in
QGIS, however, there will have to be follow-up development work in QGIS.

So we (PSC) are looking for potential QGIS core developers familiar with
PDF output and the QGIS layout module, as well as enhancing the color
handling in QGIS in order to allow users to specify CMYK colors next to the
RGB colors and give the CMYK colors precedence in the PDF output if they
are specified and CMYK is chosen for the PDF output.

If you are able to work on this topic (or know a QGIS core developer
interested in working on it), please get in touch with us. I will then
forward the information from KDAB we have (how they plan to introduce CMYK
support in qt) - it would be good to find an appropriate QGIS dev soon, so
that there could be a collaboration with KDAB during their development - in
order to provide feedback and test things out.

Thank you for your replies,
Andreas
