Hi Josh,
I've been pretty busy at work lately, so I haven't had time to do much. I'm working on backporting some of the recent bug fixes to the downstream Ubuntu package, so hopefully this should help with 0.48.3/0.49 pre-release testing. I'll also (finally) sort out the upstream stable PPA in the near future, I hope.
From my perspective, as an inkscape-dev novice, I find it pretty
difficult to get involved with the development of new features because I'm not really familiar enough with the Inkscape source or gtk+. Although there is a nice to-do list of simple coding tasks[1] and a development roadmap,[2] it's possibly worth noting that there are currently only six blueprints and ~25 unfixed bugs actually tied to the 0.49 release. Personally, I'd find it much easier to get heavily involved in the project if (a) it's clear exactly what is required for each release and (b) there's an indication of how difficult each task is. Perhaps, therefore, it would be worth making more use of blueprints and targeting bugs/wishlist items to the forthcoming release so that we can more easily see our progress, and the light at the end of the tunnel. Also, some projects use a "bitesize" bug tag to indicate the easy items. This might be more maintainable/accessible than the current wiki page?
Best wishes,
AV

Hey all,
Anything in particular people are looking to add or refactor which they haven't discussed yet? Development has greatly slowed and I am curious if it's related to lack of interest, time, or people not wanting to hold up a possible release by adding new features. Note, a release is unfeasible at this time anyway, so we're really still game for new code currently. Related to this, Tavmjong's gradient mesh branch is pretty nice (and still has bugs) atm... if anyone is interested in helping out with it, please let him know. It would be awesome if we could see that work stabilized and available in the next release. Just checking in...
Cheers, Josh
