Thanks all, here's our final votes:

I know I said ">50% of the vote", but I just realized that literally interpreted that'd mean only items getting 7 or more votes would pass muster, which is ridiculous. I didn't think that through too well. What I really meant was items that half of us were favorable towards... so items with 6 voters +3 or better. All three voted projects meet that test, and if no one objects I'd like to declare all three as passing our vote and make them officially pre-approved.
Before we make any public announcements, I'd like to make sure we have the three projects defined, with deliverables explained.
I can take care of fleshing out Box Blur (help welcomed tho). Tav and Johan would you two be willing to tackle defining the GList refactoring project? That would leave the SVG2 features for Josh, Ted, and Jon to elaborate on, if you're up for it?
Yes, I can tackle the GList refactoring project... but not for about a week (I've already got a list of tasks for when I return to France in a couple of days).
I think this makes a nice set. With these three pre-approved, I could now imagine someone running an inkscape kickstarter campaign around collecting funds for these three projects. Box Blur is a small but tangible optimization task, SVG2 features will be most compelling to users but may present more of an implementation challenge, and GList refac is a necessary bread-and-butter but perhaps unsexy janitorial task.
It is a good set to start as the projects are quite different so it should give us some good feedback on what works.
SVG 2 features is a huge project that needs to be broken down into smaller parts. SVG 2 compliant flowed text is a great start and has the advantage that there is a natural SVG 1.1 fallback. It will be an implementation challenge as one needs to understand the current text code.
Thanks everyone, Bryce

One of the capabilities the new funded development policy[0] gives us is the ability to specify some projects as immediately fundable, without needing to wait the proscribed 6 months.
I would like to propose we select a few projects to pre-approve, in order to prime the pump, and to serve for testing out the process.
When we started this whole effort, KK suggested a number of good projects. These perhaps need a bit more elaboration but give something to select from.
Would you guys please look through this list for 2-3 projects you think would make good initial fundable projects? Nominate ones that are well-contained and straightforward - things that would make appropriate GSoC projects for example. Please feel free to expound on the project definitions.

I'll collect everyone's nominations into a list, and we'll vote on them. Projects that get >50% vote will be made pre-approved.
