Hello everybody,
probabely there are lots of thoughts on this, so I'd be grateful for some hints:
I do have some very special wishes on inkscape developement:
# Improving the Mac OS X integration # implement a routine which counts the number of objects surrounded by another object: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/621627
Esp. the first has hardly moved forward during the last year, since I've started watching it. Is there a way of funding a special developement, which obviously does not attract a lot of attention?
Inkscape is free - alternatively I'd to pay 1000s of Euros for a "professional" product - with all its disacvantages. So I'd be happy to donate a number of Euros - and probabely some other people as well - to pay somebody to get special work done, which would not be done otherwise.
Is there a mechanism for that? - Could there be one? - Maybe some young person would be interested to earn a small sum, learn and get experienced - and get some work done within a professional environment? - Or is that idea completely against the spirit of open source?
Have a nice weekend!
