44		-	Lazarus offers a cross-platform library called LCL (Lazarus Component Library), with which the IDE and applications developed with Lazarus are built. This library supports using several different widgetset interfaces. For examples, there are LCL interfaces for: Windows API, Windows CE API, Gtk+, Carbon (Mac OS X), Cocoa (Mac OS X), etc.

46		-	The project is the development of a LCL Interface for Qt 4, using the Qt4 Pascal bindings developed by Den Jean. With a high quality LCL-Qt interface, the Lazarus IDE is able to run purely on Qt, and any LCL written application can also be recompiled to run over Qt.

64		-	FPC/Lazarus is the joined effort of two development teams to provide a compiler, class libraries and an IDE to allow the development of Pascal programs on all interesting platforms. Currently we support several architectures (x86, Amd64/x86_64, PowerPC, Sparc and ARM), and several operating systems (Windows, Windows CE, Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Mac OS classic, DOS, Win32, OS/2, Netware, MorphOS and others). We, the maintainers of the FreePascal and Lazarus projects would like to apply as a single organization (called FPC/Lazarus) since our projects are very closely related.

Lazarus and Free Pascal strive for the write once compile anywhere philosophy. Since the exact same compiler and class library are available on several platforms, no recoding is necessary to produce identical products for them.

A collection of ideas for students working on the FreePascal can be found at <http://wiki.freepascal.org/index.php/Open_tasks> . Of course we are willing to provide more exact requirements for each particular task if required.

It would help us get some much necessary task moving forwards and will also help us be more recognized and in contact with the wider free software community.
