What we expect from candidates:
The candidate will perform essential steps in the GTK4 migration (see migration guide). Knowledge of GTK4/gtkmm4 is advantageous.

Depending on the progress, the project may be extended to up to 16 weeks (with additional compensation). The schedule may be shifted in order to accommodate part-time candidates.
