Hi,
-> David did not suggest it should be a paying app, it was Martin. David just offered help to put it up on windows store.
-> I'd be personally *very* *strongly* opposed to a paying app, the goal is to increase outreach, not to make the less tech-savvy users that do not know our website pay.
-> Being on the windows store is probably like being on the play store for android, not an endorsement from MS or has any link or integration with Office products, or any link with cloud saving. Just being available via a simple store search in windows, maybe be featured as a top (free) drawing app from time to time.
-> I guess we can put any description we'd like on the store page, including a suggested donation with the website link.
-> Inkscape is not in beta^^
-> kickstarter does not magically solve things. It can be planned if there is assurance that we will have the developer resources available to deliver results (in this case, that we would have people familiar with inkscape code ready to spend time paid full-time on the kickstarter).
