Dear board,
I've put together the pages which are linked from our new welcome screen. They are there to encourage more of our users to contribute to the project and know how they might be able to make Inkscape better.
The first is the contribute time page: https://inkscape.org/splash/contribute/
The second is the funding page: https://inkscape.org/splash/support/
The funding page links to a new supporting programmers page: https://inkscape.org/support-us/programmers/
I've tried to encapsulate where we are as a project on funding developers and what advice we've been given from the SFC. While it makes me sad that we can't seem to fund developers directly or event give links to users who want to fund developers, I understand the reasons.
Since this is an important topic I'd like for the board to review the pages, and the wording. Once I've got the pages to a place where everything is satisfied, I'll send the SFC an FYI email with the links so they know what we're saying about funding.
Does this seem like a reasonable plan?
Best Regards, Martin Owens
