+Mapnik is a Free Toolkit for developing mapping applications. It's
+written in C++ and there are Python bindings to facilitate fast-paced
+agile development. It can comfortably be used for both desktop and web
+development, which was something wanted from the beginning.
+
+Mapnik is about making beautiful maps. It uses the AGG library and
+offers world class anti-aliasing rendering with subpixel accuracy for
+geographic data. It is written from scratch in modern C++ and doesn't
+suffer from design decisions made a decade ago. When it comes to
+handling common software tasks such as memory management, filesystem
+access, regular expressions, parsing and so on, Mapnik doesn't re-invent
+the wheel, but utilizes best of breed industry standard libraries from
+boost.org.
