Unfortunately TPF is unable to fund all the proposed grants as they
exceed the funds available for Grants. Thus, TPF GC ranked proposals
accordingly with its relevance to the community, and the first few were
funded.

These are the funded proposals:
  * [0]Perl cross-compilation for linux and wince
  * [1]Barcode support in Act
  * [2]Tcl/Tk access for Rakudo
  * [3]Embedding perl into C++ applications
  * [4]Extending BSDPAN

Follow the proposals that, although accepted, will not be funded:
  * [5]The Perl Survey
  * [6]Squatting On Everything
  * [7]Module Installation Configuration Wizard
  * [8]Perl Hotel
  * [9]Single-file GUI-enabled executable
  * [10]CPAN Stability Project

Unfortunately, there was a few proposals that did not convince the
committee, and were rejected. Without any particular order:
  * [11]Rufus
  * [12]Bavl
  * [13]Improve POE::Component::IRC
