Hi Bryan,
The problem was brought up last week on the list.

I guess this is a "feature not a bug", in that I'm using Inkscape in a slightly unusual way. However, I'd be keen to (have someone) add a feature to allow this usage. Could anyone give me some pointers on where to start looking in the code, how big a job this might be, and perhaps if there is someone else out there who might be keen to implement the feature?
I'm interested in evaluating your keenness. Are you saying you wish to sponsor someone to work on the codebase to enable the feature for you? We don't have a way to connect developers up to keen users yet (although it's something I think we should do).
But maybe if you lay what you expect and how people can contact you to sort out any details off list. That would be a good place to start.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
