Is anyone interested getting Inkscape into the the Hackontest? Seems to me like if registered, Inkscape would have a pretty good chance of being accepted.
Inkscape has a large user base -- good for getting votes from the loyal Inkscape's purpose is easy to understand -- good for getting votes from people who've never even heard of it Inkscape is modular enough -- you need a project idea that can realistically be done in 24 hrs, and many things like cool new LPEs or exporters or importers could realistically be done in that time frame. Inkscape has a huge list of contributors -- important because you need to actually get 3 people willing to go to Sweeden and code for 24 hrs straight.
I think Inkscape would have a good shot.
