           {% trans %}
-            The REST API currently only supports a single user system.
-            This is an issue as on multi-user systems, access control
-            must be enfoced on a per-user basis.
+            Our GTK interface for GNUnet is written using libglade and Gtk.
+            It is currently designed and compatible with Gtk+3 with already 
possibly including a variety of deprecated functions.
+            In this project the requirements for a Gtk4 migration shall be 
worked out and the codebase migrated to the most recent stable Gtk4 release.
 
-            In this project, the REST service must be extended to
-            support user authentication.
-            This includes the correct handling of user context switches.
+            The difficulty of this project largely depends on the students
+            proficiency with build tools and Gtk.
+            There non-exhaustive task list would be:
             <ol>
-              <li>Implement user authentication.</li>
-              <li>Test the access control.</li>
-              <li>Document the changes to the REST API.</li>
+              <li>Get familiar with the existing gnunet-gtk architecture.</li>
+              <li>Get familiar with Gtk4 and work out a migration path.</li>
+              <li>Migrate gnunet-gtk to gtk4.</li>
+              <li>(Optional) Ad-hoc UI improvements where applicable</li>
             </ol>
             Advantageous skills/languages/frameworks:
             <ol>
               <li>C</li>
-              <li>Knowledge of user authentication subsystems on 
Linux/Unix.</li>
