As for the kickstarter campaign I have enough experience now and enough contacts I'm sure I could help pull off a campaign for this but I really do not want the responsibility/accountability for this. I will help in any way I can because I really want to see this but unless I can get solid promises and confidence some experienced SVG/InkScape developers can handle 100% of the dev work I really don't want to be put in a position of responsibility. To start a campaign you'll also need someone with a proper bank account and having the account under a shared e-mail will most certainly not work. If someone is willing to take the lead here and be responsible for the project and kicstarter campaign just say so and I'll contact them directly and help get things started and moving along.
Thank you for your offer to help, Rei. I agree with your points and think it is (way) too early to discuss fundraising for SMIL support.
Raising funds for a particular project is a very serious matter. I don't like that the discussion is about Kickstarter, because I have not seen any technical plans being discussed. Using any fundraising (with Kickstarter or something else) should be the last thing to discuss, not the first.
