It will be interesting to see just how slow Cairo is. It seems like a poor use of effort to go down that route to me. But at least someone is improving existing code. It's times like this I wish I had mainly the time, but also a bit more hardcore coding experience. (Although I'm not a fan of Linux having used it a lot recently, but that's a different story.)
I guess at the end of the day it has to do with the word 'Open' that comes before 'Source', there's a clue there somewhere I'm sure of it.

And knowing the feeling xara has for its code is one of the best reasons I can see for porting elsewhere - no disrespect to xara who play a different game.

I wish em well - I like linux - and I'm more likely to be there than vista 5 year hence. I don't have the skill to help either, sadly.
