Hello everyone,
I tried to raise this discussion when we were doing the apngasm campaign. Personally I feel there is a great need for base libraries to deal with SMIL initially (so that SMIL can be parsed and rendered out to surfaces/canvases), then building tools into inkscape to manipulate SMIL would be next. There are some excellent mock-ups of how this could work already. Unfortunately we [Genshin] do not have the developer resources or cash or even the proper base knowledge to implement this on our own - we would need core members of the inkscape team to work on it. If there is to be a kickstarter campaign I would love to help out in making and managing the campaign but I don't want to run anything for this through my kickstarter account - one of the lead developers should do this.
We would very much like something like this to exist. Please don't let this conversation die out again.

Hi guys,
I really would like to make that happen but it's really not my thing to do that and overall I am doing my phd right now so I have absolutly no time... Sorry !
But I would love to help and contribute in any kind of project you could start.

You should also get in touch with Dick Bulterman
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Bulterman) who has a steady stream of phd students working on SMIL and would love to see greater adoption.

If you don't have time to work on it, could you consider launching an indigogo or kickstarter campaign to raise some funds. I am sure many people will give you money to give that support.
Hey HadiM,
I would support a kickstart campaign; and this is what I think is needed to get that done:
- Get support from at least three inkscape super-admins
- Get Support from a majority of active developers to commit to a
social agreement not to get mad about fellow developers getting paid. (it seems silly, but it would be helpful to have that as a consensus) 3) Get the Support of Software Freedom Conservancy; they'd probably be the ones handling the money after all. 4) Dedicate your time HadiM to being the Kickstarter guy; because Kickstarter campaigns are a lot of work and that work should be done by a person like yourself who is enthusiastic about it. 5) Find the person, people or company who should be paid to deliver the work. Agree all the fundamentals beforehand like any contract work. 6) Figure out some good rewards for the backers (apart from the software deliverable) 7) Prepare some stretch goals (just in case) 8) Advertise and partner to with a bunch of different people. FSF, deviantArt, FSM, anyone that will.
This is a bit of a list, but don't feel shy from working through the items and unblocking it. We're all rooting for active users who want to help organise and advocate for Inkscape as much as for developers to make this project great.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
