[SoC] Mentoring - Cartographic Library Project

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

Hi everyone,
I've registered as a mentor and am particularly interested in  
overseeing the OSGeo Cartographic Library project.[1]  My link id is  
"tmitchell".

This project is an excellent opportunity to fill an important gap in  
some OSGeo (and other) projects - providing high quality cartographic  
printing options.  While many applications can do some basic  
printing, it is not so common to be able to produce high resolution  
(e.g. 300+ DPI) in print-friendly formats (e.g. postscript, PDF,  
HPGL, etc.).  This project will help identify a print configuration  
specification and a few tools for processing them into print-ready  
output.

More as time goes on...
