Ok, thanks Maren.
and under the hood: switch of test framework,
switch of build environment,...),
"Test framework" and "build environment" will be 2 things that I will need to explain to other users, because I will need someone to explain to me. I have a general idea about them, but many will have questions, if I just leave it as those words.
and about the boost it seems to have
given to the dev community.
I wasn't aware of this, and I guess most users are also not aware. I guess the evidence must be on the IRC channel? For the dev channel, I don't even have a nickname and pw. (I don't usually use that kind of format, because I can't type fast enough -- by the time I write a reply, the subject has been changed 2 or 3 times.) I guess I could get an account, just to watch the activity and read it....but that's another story, and atm, the bottom of to-do list.
Where did you learn about all that? That's what I need to read. Was on the IRC? I suppose there's no archive of IRC discussions. I did see a lot of discussion on the mailing list, but mostly on things I don't understand. So I didn't read closely. But I can look at those messages more closely, and ask questions about those topics.
I didn't realize this was the first hackfest. When I first read about it on the website, it sounded like an annual event, that had been going for some years.
Shall I thank the sponsors in this article/review? In a general way, or specifically name them? Or is this not the best place to do that?
Thanks for your guidance :-)

Hi Brynn,
and I'll get to work right away, if you want me to.
- Great :)
If you want me to, is this the correct list of attendees?
Bryce Tav Josh Jabier Krzysztof Alex Amelia insaner/Raphael
- Yep, those seem to be the right people to ask. Mail addresses should
be those from the mailing list, or if you can't find them, just ask.
I guess there will be no problems contacting them through their list address? Was the agenda outlined here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2015_Topics, fairly well adhered to? Or did things end up going out to other topics as well. I'm thinking of using that as a starting place to compose what questions I want to ask. Although I will also ask each attendee what their unique focus or contribution was, and ask a question or 2 on that. On that wiki page, it looks like some info has been updated since the hackfest, although I have not learned how to read the wiki history (in a really meaningful way) yet. But are some results of the hackfest already mentioned there? In Martin's first msg, he said, "Jabier has provided some information, but no one's stepped forward to help author/edit the idea." Where is that info? Do you mean it's to be included? Or the main idea is just 'write a review/article'? When looking at that 2015 Topics wiki page, it's hard to image writing such a short article as 200 to 400 words (because explaining complex things in simple language sometimes needs a lot of words). Can it go long? Or is that a fairly strict limit?
- It doesn't need to be long, and no, it's not a strict limit. It will
be on the website sooner when it is shorter ;).
The technical details will be mentioned in Tav's report in-depth, and there will also be that interview with Mairin Duffy / Bryce. This article is for the 'normal', non-technical user to see where their generous donations went to be used. It should also talk a bit about the social aspects, and about exciting new things/improvements that were 'triggered' by the event (accessibility, extensions, roadmap, community development, fixing bugs, and under the hood: switch of test framework, switch of build environment,...), and about the boost it seems to have given to the dev community. (you could ask them what it was like to meet for the first time, for example. Jabier has a good story for this, I think) A photo would be cool, too...
