I just want to put this in perspective: the foundation has $200,000 in the bank, with guaranteed income of $100,000 a year approx. One employee costs at least $70,000 per year, and depending on the role up to $100,000 or more.

(Symbian with POSIX) port of Gtk+ There are some good project ideas there, and there are certainly bodies who might be prepared to subsidise them. Someone (?) needs to go hunt for money for one or more of those projects to make them happen.
