The Horde Project runs a bounty program.  If Inkscape were to adopt a funding program, it should probably follow Horde&#39;s model (whoever implements the first accepted patch wins the bounty, patch approval &amp; bounty program are administered and/or escrowed by senior Horde devs [historically Chuck &amp; Jan]).<div>

arranging freelance work like this. I don&#39;t know if anyone here has an<br>
experience with such a site or would be able to recommend one, but my<br>
guess would be that it might be easiest and most transparent to just<br>
post your requests on such a site and announce it here, especially if<br>
you also want to let others donate.<br></blockquote></div></div><br>-- <br>Med vänlig hälsning,<br>Björn A. Göransson<br>
