Tav and I also worked on text line spacing a lot, especially on the last two days of the hackfest. I made new icons for a line spacing lock that will replace the question mark button and text line spacing should behave more intuitively in a future release. We have an implementation checklist ready for Tav to find time to make the changes.
Elisa and Cedric brought published inkscape books for us to see, and also helped with ui suggestions. I think they should be mentioned as guests of honour for the teaching materials they have made over the years. Probably good to mention they brought their kids who are in the hackfest photos.
Jabier's knot selection feature should be mentioned as he participated remotely, and achieved a fully implemented solution. It allows knots to be selected and moved using the node tool, and also keyboard directional keys to nudge then for precision like you could with nodes previously. This works on LPE knots as well! Big thanks Jabier!
Would be awesome to see some Of the pics from the BBQ.
There were also plenty of after-hackfest hacking activities. I think it's good to mention that people who contributed to the hackfest funds got a lot more work out of the devs than just the 4 days. Great value for money. Maybe end with a "Thanks hackfest contributors!" And donation link for the next hackfest in Boston.
Good rundown overall. Thanks for typing it up!
