I think if enough people pitched in funds, we could actually make (PDF) happen. This is one feature I think we as a community could just force through, by hiring some mercenary to attack and kill it for us, hardcore style.
Sounds like http://fundable.org would be a workable mechanism. Define the feature, announce it here, and let people contribute according to interest level.
Yup, I've had the same thought. I definitely think this is a way we could handle the fund raising.
(I can't clearly find what their 'load' is on funds raised. Fundable.org may be no-load, donation-driven)
BTW, would it me more productive to enhance Cairo to convert between various surface/image format backends and the (perhaps unfinshed) PDF backend. Some sort of recording canvas might be needed, but very useful to other Cairo apps.
Yup. Focusing our resources onto Cairo would also pay off longer term, since other things we need also intersect with the need to make more use of Cairo.
