It'd be hard to assemble a technical board which wasn't just a mirror copy of everyone already active on the list. :-)
Good idea. Set up a board who's job is to have everyone on the list be a member. the joke shall be: If you're on this list you have permission to do something about inkscape, vote on the board membership, get really stuck in. Of course developers could always do that, but this will be a psychological construct to hang those permissions off of.
some bounty-style
He said the B word! We're doomed! ;-) It's Kickstarter-like (because kickstarter is successful). See above for good psychological construct to hang permissiont o start campaign off of.
IMHO FOSS is able to do this type of change work way better than paid development.
ALERT! paid FOSS development and volunteer proprietary nonsense both exist. Being paid and being a foss project are not mutually exclusive. When we start seeing paid developers as 'other' we have a social problem which leads to an economic one.
We're a foss project, do we not dream of having paid developers too?
