Predictably, I'm going to focus on infrastructure/maintenance:

GTK+ 3 migration
C++11
Unit testing
Breaking out more of our internal libraries

Great topics.  I'm especially interested in seeing what we can do on
that last one.

I think some realistic hacking goals for the three days are to:

Fix the remaining CMake issues (i.e., get 0.92 ready to roll)

Fwiw, yesterday I was going to try creating dists from cmake and
automake to compare how far off things are, but the automake 'make dist'
is failing on a 2geom file:
*** No rule to make target `2geom/d2-sbasis.h', needed by `distdir'.  Stop.
...

Enable building against external 2Geom

This would be wonderful.  Also, I wonder if the 2geom headers slow down
compilation (at least they generated numerous warnings for me yesterday).
Please let me know if there are steps we want to take at the technical
infrastructure level to better integrate 2geom at a project level
(e.g. unifying account access to help simplify repository access for
folks, or etc.)
...

Fully document (and simplify?) the canvas rendering code and figure

out the GTK+ 3 "redraw flickering" bug.
Out of curiousity, I know that Gtk3 brings Wayland support, but do you
know if anything else would be required beyond that?
Thanks,
Bryce

Would be cool to add a universal "size" controller verb/action.
This would be a unified hotkey-bound method for increasing/decreasing the
most used value for the tool in the mode selected.
For example:
Ctrl+Alt+mousewheel could have these effects:
In text tool: Increase/decrease font size
In select mode: increase/decrease line-width
In node tool: expand/decrease selected node group by one node on either side
of the selection(s). < This is something that Blender has that I really miss
working  in Inkscape.
In Tweak tool: increase/decrease size of the brush (width)
In Magnifying tool: ? (maybe rotate canvas in the future)
Measure tool: Increase/decrease font size
Rectangle, 3D boxes and Circle and arc, star, and spiral tools: Change line
width.
Draw, Bezier, and caligraphic tools: Change line width/brush width.
Spray tool and eraser: width
Fill tool: Increase/decrease threshold
Etc.
I believe this would be a great workflow-streamlining time-saver as well as
convenience item, and If folks are interested in this I'd love to have it
included as a topic.
