Dear all,
I'd like to request a Windows laptop under the Contributor Hardware Policy
https://inkscape.org/gallery/item/50757/hardware-policy-2024.pdf
which I would like to use to
* Fix various deal-breaking bugs in the upcoming 1.5 release on Windows * Otherwise polish and speed up the Windows version, which needs it the most * Improve GTK4's cross-platform support, helping inkscape and other downstream users * Improve the developer experience to avoid turning off potential new contributors * Explore better Visual Studio integration * Investigate the Windows-specific phenomenon of "hard crashes" - no backups saved! * Switch the app to the UTF-8 codepage
Estimated maximum cost: 1500 USD.
Best regards, Philip
