Dear PLC,
As requested under the policy, pbs requests $1,500 or less to purchase a windows computer for debuging Inkscape 1.5. This easily falls within the developer team's needs for continued stabilisation of the release.
a. Approve the budget of $1,500 for a computer b. Disaprove c. Something else ...
Thanks everyone.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

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
