Hi, I sent a GSoC proposal about CAD features described at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/CAD , (proposal https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/jamp... ).
I didn't contact with you before this proposal, because I forgot about the deadline, but I have been thinking about submitting proposal to inkscape for a while. Reading the mailing list, I see that you are more inclined to agree with internal structure refactoring project, and not my feature adding one. I would like to ask about my chances on this proposal. I don't know how far is it possible to bend the proposal, but I am much more confident with my math skills that software engineering skills, which is partly reason I chose this subject.
I also have a technical question.
Getting comfortable with inkscape source, I was trying to find a source of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/953593 and I found out that poppler is returning wrong unicode codes (at least I think). What should I do next? I can write workaround (it won't be very nice, just swapping the two unicode values), or will just reporting to poppler suffice?
Thank you. Best regards Jan Pulmann
