Thank you, Maren! And thank you to Mois, Eduard and Marc. I am checking out the Doxgen documentation now.

Just FYI (not sure if that's helpful): Only recently, Mois, Eduard and Marc have worked on making the Doxgen documentation available online: https://inkscape.gitlab.io/inkscape/doxygen/

Thanks Martin and Philip.
I should have said more about the project - I see why you are responding with these thoughts.
Our students must do their homework with paper and pencil - one of our goals is to keep kids doing schoolwork the traditional way, avoiding distractions, etc. So I would be using Inkscape to add marks onto images scanned by the parents, of schoolwork the kids did with paper and pencil. (We will however also offer a website way to submit answers, with the student simply typing the answer.)
The main reason I am interested in Inkscape is not so much because of the SVG aspect, but rather because it is a clean and customizable interface, the code is open source, and it compiles beautifully on WIndows under msys64 - unlike Gimp (which after many hours I had to give up trying to compile for Windows).
But, if the customizations will be very expensive, then yes - I will have to do most of the work, as I have no customers right now. *Short of someone doing the coding, could I hire someone for a few hours to give me a little tour of the code and answer some questions, get me started, etc? * Especially since the Inkscape Jenkins is apparently down (?), I am having a tough time seeing the big picture of the code structure. Right now I am lacing the code with "printfs()" to try to trace through it, as I cannot figure out how to use the gbd debugger with Inkscape's multiple threads.
Thank you! Dean

Dear Dean Loew, The kind of project you have here isn't quite an Inkscape project,but
it could make a very good website project. Students can use inkscape to write/draw, and the files can besubmitted
for marking to a website. It's even possible to have an extension written in python that would submit the work quickly to such awebsite
from the student's computers. SVG is Inkscape internal format. SVG is also a first class web standard, you can view SVGs created in Inkscape directly in a web browser. Embedding SVGs in this way is something I've done for my clients a number of times. There's no need to customise Inkscape, mostly because the cost of it would be VERY expensive and also because it's not necessary. Good luck!
